Summary

Warner Middle School serves 559 students in grades 6-8 in Farmington Hills, Michigan, as part of the Farmington Public School District, and has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 212 out of 896 Michigan middle schools (76th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

Warner has shown steady improvement over the past few years, climbing from the 69th percentile in 2022-2023 to its current 76th percentile ranking. The school demonstrates particular strengths with specific student groups—Hispanic students have consistently ranked in the 86th-87th percentile statewide over the past two years, and African American students have seen a remarkable 20-percentile-point improvement since 2023-2024. English Language Learners also receive strong support, ranking in the 82nd percentile in available data years. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1% sits below the state average of 27.9%, and spending of $18,422 per student is comparable to higher-performing peers while achieving better results than some schools that spend more. Within the district, Warner sits between Power Middle School (80th percentile) and East Middle School (62nd percentile).

Families should be aware of a few challenges. Eighth-grade PSAT math proficiency has been volatile, swinging from 48% in 2022-2023 down to 29.8% in 2024-2025 before recovering to 39.3%—a gap of 8.2 points below the district average in the most recent dip. Science performance has also lagged the district for three consecutive years, with a 6.4-point gap in 2025-2026. Support for Special Education students has been inconsistent, ranging from the 33rd to 69th percentile across recent years. The contrast with nearby Birmingham Public Schools and Bloomfield Hills Schools is notable—schools like Birmingham Covington School (ranked #1 in the state) and South Hills Middle School (18th) achieve dramatically higher test scores, though they serve significantly different student populations. Overall, Warner offers a solid, improving education with genuine strengths in serving diverse learners, though families seeking the highest absolute academic outcomes may want to explore neighboring districts.

What people are saying
by a parent
Wednesday, November 7, 2018

Open Quote Grade inflation runs rampant in the school, the principal cannot control the bullying that occurs in the halls and the courses are fluff for the most part. The teachers do not provide the help needed for students to master the content, but then make the students retest multiple time and pretend the final grade best grade is the original. It provides a very false sense of where students are at, considering the M-Step scores continue to be disastrous. Close Quote

Open Quote At a recent tour with incoming 6th graders from the lower Farmington schools, the common thread shared by current students was that bullying and meanness run amok at the school. That is very scary to hear. Close Quote
