Summary

Saline Middle School is a highly-rated public middle school in Saline, Michigan, serving 1,081 students in grades 6-8. This school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Saline Middle School excels academically, with students consistently outperforming state averages on M-Step and PSAT assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 67.5% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step Math, compared to the state average of 33.3%. The school also serves diverse student populations well, ranking highly for its performance with female, Asian, African American, Hispanic, White, multi-racial, and low socioeconomic status students.

While Ypsilanti Community Middle School, about 10 miles away, struggles academically with proficiency rates well below the state averages, Clague Middle School, Forsythe Middle School, and Slauson Middle School (all part of the Ann Arbor Public Schools district) also perform well, though Saline Middle School generally ranks higher. This suggests that the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools likely contribute to its strong academic performance.
