Summary

White Lake Middle School serves 525 students in grades 6-8 in White Lake, MI, as part of the Huron Valley Schools district, and has recently earned its best state ranking in seven years.

White Lake Middle School is on a strong upward trajectory. After several years of 3-star ratings, the school jumped to a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, moving to the 79th percentile statewide. This improvement is driven by standout results in 8th grade, where science proficiency (52.4%) and social studies proficiency (68.5%) both significantly exceed state averages. The social studies score is particularly remarkable—a 40-point jump over two years. The school also outperforms nearby Walnut Creek Middle School and West Bloomfield Middle School in both 8th grade science and social studies. While the school still trails its district counterpart, Muir Middle School, in overall ranking, the gap has narrowed dramatically—White Lake now sits at the 79th percentile versus Muir's 80th. Notably, White Lake actually surpasses Muir in 8th grade science.

There are areas that need attention. Math proficiency remains near state averages but below district averages, and 7th grade English Language Arts shows a dip compared to 6th grade. Chronic absenteeism, at 26%, is below the state average but higher than peer schools like Novi Middle School (12.1%) and Sashabaw Middle School (18.1%). The school's most pressing challenge is supporting special education students, whose outcomes rank in the 33rd percentile—though this is a significant improvement from the 10th percentile just a year prior. Encouragingly, students from low-income backgrounds have shown remarkable progress, jumping from the 31st to the 59th percentile over two years. The school achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,288) than many comparable schools, suggesting efficient use of resources.

They work really hard and make sure time is available for extra learning. Also they make sure no matter what financial state you are in you can participate in school activities. Finally the sports have open tryouts so and the tryouts are fair for everyone. Close Quote
