Summary

Novi Middle School, part of the Novi Community School District, serves 1,086 students in grades 5 through 8 in the suburban community of Novi, MI, and has earned a reputation as one of the top-performing middle schools in the state.

For parents, the headline is simple: this school delivers exceptional academics, particularly in math. On the 2025-2026 PSAT 8th-grade exam, 72.7% of students were proficient in math—more than double the state average of 33.2%. That performance also outpaces nearby schools like Millennium Middle School (57.4%), West Middle School (50.2%), and Power Middle School (39.7%). The school has ranked in the top 3% of Michigan middle schools for a decade straight, and it stands out for its support of specific student groups—ranking #1 in the state for both Multi-racial and Hispanic students in recent years, and in the top 10 statewide for English Language Learners. Attendance is also a strength, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1% versus the state's 27.9%.

That said, there are nuances worth knowing. While Novi Middle is elite, its neighbors in Northville Public Schools—specifically Hillside Middle School—post even higher math scores (75.9% vs. 65% on the 7th-grade M-Step). The school also spends less per student ($14,491) than several peers like Meads Mill Middle School ($16,382) and Novi Meadows School ($16,161), yet achieves stronger results—a sign of efficient resource use. One area for growth is Special Education, where the school ranks in the 44th percentile, a notable gap from its overall standing. Additionally, 8th-grade math proficiency dipped to 63.3% in 2024-2025 before rebounding to 72.7%, so it's worth watching that trend. Overall, this is a high-achieving, well-rounded school with a few targeted opportunities for improvement.
