Summary

Oakview Middle School in Oakland, MI, serves 510 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly regarded Lake Orion Community Schools district, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Oakview is a consistently high-performing school, with a decade-long track record of ranking between the 88th and 92nd percentiles statewide—a stability that sets it apart from schools that swing dramatically year to year. Students significantly outperform state averages in every subject. For example, 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 59.6% versus the state's 38%, and 7th-grade math proficiency is 51.5% versus the state's 33%. The school truly shines in 8th grade, where students post exceptional scores in Science (58.5% proficient) and Social Studies (71.9% proficient), both far exceeding state averages and competitive with or better than nearby high-achieving schools like Sashabaw Middle School in the Clarkston district. Within its own district, Oakview sits between Waldon Middle School (ranked slightly higher) and Scripps Middle School (ranked slightly lower), though Oakview's 7th-grade scores actually surpass Waldon's.

Despite these academic strengths, parents should be aware of a few challenges. Oakview's chronic absenteeism rate is 19.4%—notably higher than the district average of 13.6% and significantly higher than Waldon (11.4%) and Scripps (13.1%). This means a substantial portion of students are missing enough school to impact learning, even while those who attend perform well. Additionally, the school has seen a sharp decline in outcomes for its low-income students, dropping from the 83rd to the 70th percentile statewide in just one year. Finally, there's a notable gap between 8th-grade M-Step math scores and PSAT math scores (42.4% proficient), suggesting the curriculum may align well with state standards but could better prepare students for college-readiness assessments. With a favorable 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio, Oakview offers strong academics, but families should consider attendance patterns and ask about support for all learners.
