Summary

Oxford Middle School is a public middle school serving 947 students in grades 6-8 in Oxford, Michigan. It is part of the Oxford Community Schools district, which is ranked 281 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Oxford Middle School has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools over the past decade, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oxford Middle School outperforms the state and district averages in M-Step and PSAT test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 44.5% of 7th graders were proficient or better in M-Step English Language Arts, compared to 41.5% for the district and 39.2% for the state. The school also spends significantly more per student ($14,556 to $15,269) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.4% to 37.2% over the past few years, are higher than the state average and an area of concern.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Oxford Middle School generally outperforms schools in the Waterford and Pontiac districts, which have lower rankings and test scores. However, it faces competition from high-performing schools in the Almont, Clarkston, and Lake Orion districts, which have similar or better academic outcomes.
