Summary

Flushing Middle School, part of the Flushing Community Schools district, serves 636 students in grades 7 and 8 in the Flushing, MI area. The school has shown a remarkable upward trend, climbing from the 39th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance with low-income students. In the 2025-2026 school year, this subgroup ranked in the 75th percentile statewide, nearly matching the school's overall ranking. This is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools like CarmanAinsworth Middle School, Mt Morris Middle School, and Holmes STEM Middle School Academy, which have much higher poverty rates and rank in the bottom 10th percentile. Academically, Flushing outperforms state averages in nearly every subject, with 8th graders showing particular strength in Social Studies (60.7% proficient vs. 50.3% statewide) and English Language Arts on the PSAT (75% proficient vs. 64.8% statewide). The school also demonstrates strong operational efficiency, spending approximately $14,362 per student—significantly less than many lower-performing neighbors like Carman-Ainsworth ($18,178) and Holmes STEM ($29,353)—while achieving better outcomes.

However, parents should be aware of two significant concerns. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is a major outlier at 33.1% for 2024-2025, well above the district average of 23.8% and state average of 27.9%, and it has been rising steadily from 26.8% the previous year. Additionally, while the school excels for many student groups, its Special Education services have collapsed dramatically, ranking in the 2nd percentile statewide in 2025-2026, down from the 29th percentile the prior year. This stark contrast suggests that while the school's overall success is impressive, it may not be reaching all students equally, particularly those receiving special education services.
