Summary

Hamady Middle School in Flint, MI, is a small school serving 154 students in grades 7 and 8, and it is part of the Westwood Heights Schools district, which faces significant economic challenges in the surrounding community.

Hamady currently holds a 0-star rating and ranks in the 3rd percentile statewide, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in Michigan. Academic proficiency is well below state averages—for example, only 10.2% of 7th graders were proficient in ELA on the M-Step, compared to the state average of 38.4%. Nearby schools like Mt Morris Middle School (11%) and Richfield Public School Academy (6.3%) show similar struggles, but others such as Flushing Middle School (41%) and Clio Middle School (40.6%) perform at or above the state average. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, affecting 55% of Hamady students—nearly double the state average of 27.9%—and is likely a key factor in the low achievement levels.

There are some encouraging signs. Hamady's state ranking improved from the 0th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 3rd percentile in 2025-2026, and 8th-grade PSAT ELA proficiency rose from 15.4% to 26.7% over the same period. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $19,556 per pupil—more than higher-performing neighbors like Flushing Middle School ($14,362) and Clio Middle School ($14,650)—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7. While the return on this investment isn't yet visible in test scores, the upward trend in rankings and proficiency suggests the school may be on a path toward improvement, even as it continues to face deep-rooted challenges related to poverty and attendance.
