Summary

Muir Middle School in Milford, MI, serves 656 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Huron Valley Schools district, and has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

For parents, the big picture is that Muir is a dependable, solid choice with clear strengths in English Language Arts and Social Studies. In fact, 8th-grade PSAT ELA scores hit 77.8% proficiency—a 13-point advantage over the state average—and 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency (66.3%) beats the state by 16 points. Students also seem to grow in literacy during their time here: 7th-grade ELA scores (53.2%) are notably higher than 6th-grade scores (44%). However, math is a relative weak spot. Muir’s 8th-grade PSAT Math proficiency (39.7%) is only slightly above the state average and trails significantly behind nearby Millennium Middle School (57.4%) and Centennial Middle School (56.6%) in the South Lyon Community Schools district. Within its own district, Muir is the academic leader over White Lake Middle School, especially in 7th-grade ELA.

There are a few concerns worth knowing. Chronic absenteeism sits at 23.8%, which is better than the state average (27.9%) but much higher than nearby Novi Middle School (12.1%) and Millennium (16.2%). Additionally, while overall scores remain strong, the school has seen a sharp decline in performance for students receiving special education services and those from low-income households over the past two years. Muir spends a healthy $14,729 per student—more than Millennium ($12,445) or Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek ($12,423)—but doesn't yet match the top-tier math results of its higher-spending peers in Novi. For most families, Muir offers a strong, stable education, but it's worth asking the school about math support and how it's addressing attendance and equity gaps.
