Summary

Meads Mill Middle School in Northville, MI, is a high-performing school serving 615 students in grades 6-8 as part of the top-rated Northville Public Schools district.

Meads Mill consistently ranks among the best middle schools in Michigan, currently placing 13th out of nearly 900 schools statewide—a position it has held for over a decade. What truly sets it apart, however, are specific areas of exceptional strength. The school leads its local competition in 8th-grade science and social studies, with 73.3% and 81.5% proficiency rates respectively, outpacing even its sister school Hillside Middle School in the same district. Meads Mill also achieves remarkable results with English Language Learners, ranking in the top 3 in the state for this subgroup for three consecutive years, including a #1 ranking in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school ranks 5th in Michigan for academic performance of male students, a notable achievement that exceeds its already-impressive overall standing.

While Meads Mill's M-Step math scores are strong, its 8th-grade PSAT math proficiency (69.2%) trails its ELA score (93.3%) and falls slightly behind Hillside (75.6%) and East Middle School (73.9%), suggesting a potential focus area for college-readiness in mathematics. The school also demonstrates exceptional efficiency, spending $16,382 per student—less than nearby schools like Frost Middle School ($18,868) and Power Middle School ($18,882)—while achieving far superior academic outcomes. Chronic absenteeism sits at 14.3%, roughly half the state average, though slightly above the district rate. For parents seeking a school with sustained excellence, targeted support for diverse learners, and efficient use of resources, Meads Mill is an outstanding choice.

One of the worst schools ever! the math book they follow is the worstits Big Ideas math. every problem is different in it with hardly any examples. Also, the teachers themselves dont know anything.They have maths as the last period , that too for only 45 mins and other crap classes for 1 hour+. God knows what they teach in class. They teach one section, and then give 60 sums for Homework the same day, and the very next day , they keep a test including the entire chapter! how on earth are little kids supposed to finish 60 sums(which are not taught in class) and also prepare for a test in one evening! this is ridiculous! They have so many projects(half of them are useless) All the subjects here are BAD! but maths is the worst among them! no answer key or any sought of help is given to help the students also.Very bad management and staff. I have only suffered for the 2-3 years that my child went to this school! Close Quote
