Summary

White Lake Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Huron Valley Schools district in White Lake, Michigan. With 503 students, the school is ranked 283 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen fluctuations in its performance over the years, with a high ranking of 173 out of 792 Michigan middle schools in 2018-2019, its current ranking of 306 out of 897 in 2023-2024 suggests it is facing some challenges. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, and it has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with special education students and low socioeconomic status students performing significantly worse than their peers.

When compared to other middle schools in the Huron Valley Schools district, Muir Middle School and Oak Valley Middle School generally perform better, with higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's increased spending per student over the years has not translated into improved academic performance, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's strategies and resource allocation to address these issues.

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
