Summary

Farmington STEAM Academy is a high-performing public elementary school serving 722 students in grades K-8 in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year.

Farmington STEAM Academy's academic performance is exceptional, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the Farmington Public School District and the state of Michigan on standardized tests. For example, in 2024-2025, 56.6% of 3rd graders at the school were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.9% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school also demonstrates strong performance for specific student subgroups, ranking 21st out of 369 Michigan elementary schools for African American students and 33rd out of 95 for Asian students in 2024-2025.

While Farmington STEAM Academy has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism in recent years, reaching 29.5% in 2023-2024, its rate is still lower than the district and state averages. The school's higher spending per student ($14,937 in 2023-2024) and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.1 in 2023-2024 may contribute to its academic success. Compared to nearby schools, Longacre Elementary and Hillside Elementary also demonstrate strong performance, but Farmington STEAM Academy consistently outperforms most other Farmington Public School District elementary schools in academic achievement.
