Summary

Novi High School is a large, top-performing public high school in Novi, MI, serving 2,141 students in grades 8 through 12 as part of the highly rated Novi Community School District.

For parents, the headline is simple: this school delivers exceptional academics. In the most recent state ranking, Novi jumped to 10th out of 800 Michigan high schools, a remarkable rebound after a one-year dip to 157th place. That temporary drop appears to be an anomaly, as the school has otherwise ranked in the top 5% statewide for a decade. Test scores tell the story clearly—84.6% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Reading and Writing, and 70.1% in SAT Math, compared to state averages of 52.1% and 26.5%. The graduation rate is a near-perfect 97.0%, with a dropout rate of just 0.1%. What’s especially impressive is that this success is consistent across all student groups, with every demographic subgroup ranking in the 92nd percentile or higher statewide. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $16,030 per student—less than nearby Walled Lake Western High School ($20,342) or North Farmington High School ($19,027), both of which have far lower proficiency rates.

If you’re comparing schools in this corner of Oakland County, the clear academic rival is Northville High School. The two are nearly identical in test scores, graduation rates, and district ratings, with Novi holding a slight edge in the latest state ranking. Other nearby schools like Stevenson High School, Farmington High School, and South Lyon East High School trail significantly in proficiency rates. One thing to note: chronic absenteeism spiked to 30.6% in 2023-2024 before dropping back to a low 14.3% the following year—likely a one-time issue rather than a trend. Overall, Novi offers a rigorous, well-rounded education with strong outcomes for every type of learner.
