of 896 Michigan Middle Schools

Better than 93% of Michigan middle schools

Summary

Williamston Middle School serves 440 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Williamston Community Schools district, and it stands out as the top-performing traditional public middle school in its immediate area, with a state ranking in the 93rd percentile.

Academically, this school delivers results that consistently outpace both the state average and its closest neighbors. In 7th-grade ELA, 58.8% of students were proficient on the M-Step, compared to just 27.4% at Holt Junior High School and 36.2% at Fowlerville Junior High School. The 8th-grade PSAT results are particularly impressive, with 86% of students proficient in ELA and 61.6% in math—nearly double the state average in math. The school also shows exceptional strength in social studies, where 8th-grade proficiency has climbed from 51.1% to 79.1% over just three years. One standout finding is the school's remarkable success with male students, who rank in the 96th percentile statewide—a demographic that often struggles in other districts. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 15.4%, far below the state average of 27.9% and much lower than nearby MacDonald Middle School (30.8%) and Mason Middle School (24.6%).

While Williamston leads among traditional area schools, it is consistently out-ranked by the specialized schools in the Okemos Public Schools district, such as Chippewa Middle School (ranked 39th vs. Williamston's 59th). The school achieves its results while spending less per student ($13,989) than many peers, including Holt Junior High School ($16,277) and Chippewa Middle School ($15,149). The one area to monitor is special education performance, which swung dramatically from a 95th-percentile ranking in 2024-2025 to a 63rd-percentile ranking the following year—a volatility that may reflect cohort changes rather than systemic issues. Overall, this is a highly efficient, academically excellent school that prepares students well for high school and beyond.
