Summary

Andrew G Schmidt Middle School in Fenton, MI, serves 718 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the highly-ranked Fenton Area Public Schools district, which sits in the 90th percentile statewide. The school has shown a clear upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 74th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 84th percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026, placing it among the top-performing middle schools in the region.

What truly sets Andrew G Schmidt apart is its standout performance in specific subjects. In 8th-grade Science, 55.9% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 39.2%, and in Social Studies, an impressive 69% are proficient versus the state's 50.3%—nearly double the rate at nearby Swartz Creek Middle School (37.2%) and more than triple that of CarmanAinsworth Middle School (19.4%). The school also excels in college-readiness metrics: 84.7% of 8th graders meet or exceed the PSAT English Language Arts benchmark, outpacing even Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek (77.8%) and Grand Blanc Middle School East (82.8%). Notably, the school achieves strong results for its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide—a significant accomplishment compared to schools like Grand Blanc Middle School West and Holly Middle School, which serve similar populations but don't show the same level of subgroup success.

Despite these academic strengths, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 19.5%, higher than the district average (16.6%) and above peers like Lake Fenton Middle School (17.5%) and Hartland Farms Intermediate School (16.0%), though still well below the state average of 27.9%. The school also shows mixed results for some subgroups, with Special Education rankings dipping to the 57th percentile and Hispanic student rankings falling from the 79th to the 60th percentile. On the resource front, Andrew G Schmidt spends $13,878 per student—less than lower-performing schools like Carman-Ainsworth ($18,178) and Swartz Creek ($14,915)—yet achieves significantly better outcomes, suggesting efficient use of funds. In a competitive local landscape that includes top-tier Hartland Consolidated Schools and Linden Community Schools, Andrew G Schmidt consistently ranks in the top quartile, making it a strong choice for families in the Fenton area.
