Summary

West Bloomfield High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in suburban Oakland County, Michigan, serving 1,434 students in grades 9-12 within the West Bloomfield School District.

West Bloomfield High School stands out most for its exceptional commitment to seeing students through to graduation. With a graduation rate of 97.6% and a dropout rate of effectively zero, it outperforms the state average (84%) and is competitive with elite neighbors like Bloomfield Hills High School (96.8%) and Ernest W Seaholm High School (96.7%). The school also shows notable progress in supporting its African American students, whose statewide ranking jumped from the 48th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 75th percentile in 2025-2026. However, the school faces a serious challenge with chronic absenteeism—46.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, a sharp rise from 33.8% the prior year and dramatically higher than the state average of 27.9%. This is especially striking given the near-perfect graduation rate, suggesting many students complete coursework despite being disengaged from daily school life.

Academically, West Bloomfield shows a clear split between subjects. In 2025-2026, 56.5% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, exceeding the state average, but only 24.3% were proficient in SAT Math—below the state average (26.5%) and far behind neighboring North Farmington High School and Bloomfield Hills High School, where math proficiency ranges from roughly 48% to 66%. The school also struggles to serve its Special Education students (28th percentile) and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds (consistently 2-star ratings). Per-pupil spending is $17,793, notably lower than the $24,000+ spent by its highest-performing neighbors, which may contribute to resource gaps. For parents, this is a school that excels at graduating students and shows real momentum in closing gaps for some groups, but attendance and math achievement are critical areas to watch.
