Summary

Oxford Middle School in Oxford, MI, serves 938 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Oxford Community Schools district, a solidly above-average school in an affluent area where only about 19% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Oxford Middle School has several clear academic strengths that stand out when compared to nearby schools. In 6th grade math, 48.6% of students scored proficient on the M-Step, outpacing the state average by nearly 17 points and beating nearby Romeo Middle School (39.1%), Brandon Middle School (29.5%), and Pierce Middle School (20.9%). The school also excels in 8th grade social studies, with 57.9% proficient versus the state's 50.3%, and an impressive 73.1% of 8th graders met the college-readiness benchmark on the PSAT in English Language Arts—well above the state average of 64.8%. Chronic absenteeism (22.1%) is notably lower than the district's overall rate of 32.3%, suggesting better daily attendance than other schools in the same district.

However, there are areas parents should know about. Math proficiency drops significantly from 6th grade (48.6%) to 7th grade (33.4%), suggesting a challenge in sustaining math achievement as students progress. The school's overall state ranking has declined from its peak in the 90th percentile (2018-2019) to the low 70s today, and it now trails several nearby high-achieving schools like Waldon Middle School, Scripps Middle School, and Sashabaw Middle School in the Lake Orion and Clarkston districts, which consistently rank in the 88th-92nd percentile. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17:1 is also higher than those Lake Orion schools (which range from 12.9 to 14.7), potentially meaning less individualized attention. Support for special education students appears to be an area needing attention, with the school's ranking for that group currently in the 44th percentile.
