Summary

Lake Fenton Middle School in Fenton, MI, serves 444 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly rated Lake Fenton Community Schools district, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide. The school consistently earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the low 70s percentile overall, making it a solid, above-average choice for families in the area.

What truly sets Lake Fenton Middle apart is its exceptional work with specific student groups. The school ranks in the 77th percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds—a significant jump from the previous year—and in the 75th percentile for special education students. This shows a genuine commitment to meeting students where they are and helping them thrive. However, there is a persistent gender gap: boys rank in the 74th percentile while girls rank in the 64th percentile, a difference that has widened over three years. Additionally, chronic absenteeism hovers around 17-20%, which is better than the state average but higher than the district's own rate of 15.3%.

The school's biggest red flag is 8th-grade PSAT math. Only 22.4% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—a steep decline from 38% just a few years ago and far below the state average of 33.2%. This stands in stark contrast to the school's strong 8th-grade English Language Arts performance (75.7% proficient, well above the state's 64.8%). When comparing to nearby Andrew G Schmidt Middle School in the Fenton Area Public Schools district—just 5 miles away—that school boasts a 49.3% math proficiency rate, more than double Lake Fenton's. While Lake Fenton outperforms schools like Bendle Middle School and Swartz Creek Middle School, it trails higher-achieving neighbors such as Linden Middle School and Grand Blanc Middle School East. For parents, this is a school with clear strengths in literacy and student support, but one that needs to address its math curriculum urgently.
