Summary:
Zip code 48025, encompassing Beverly Hills and Bingham Farms in Michigan, is served by five schools within the highly-ranked Birmingham Public Schools district, offering a complete educational pathway from elementary through high school.
This area provides an exceptional education, with every school dramatically outperforming state averages. The standout is Wylie E Groves High School, which boasts a 95.9% graduation rate and SAT proficiency rates nearly double the state average in math. Among the elementary schools, Beverly Elementary School demonstrates consistent excellence with the lowest poverty rate and top-tier ELA scores, while Bingham Farms Elementary School and Greenfield Elementary School also perform well above state norms. Berkshire Middle School serves as a strong bridge, with 8th-grade PSAT proficiency rates of 85.8% in ELA and 63.4% in math. Chronic absenteeism across all schools is remarkably low (8-12.7%) compared to the state average of 27.9%.
However, notable disparities exist even within this affluent area. Beverly Elementary's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (76.2%) is roughly 20 points higher than Bingham Farms (52.2%) and Greenfield (56.8%). A concerning "math slump" appears in 5th grade, where all three elementary schools saw significant proficiency drops in 2024-2025, followed by partial recovery. Math proficiency also erodes progressively from middle school (63.4%) to high school (51.5%). Interestingly, Greenfield receives the highest per-student funding ($24,908) yet posts the lowest academic rankings, while Bingham Farms receives the least ($19,436) but outperforms it—suggesting higher spending reflects greater student needs rather than guaranteeing outcomes. For families, this zip code offers elite educational options, though individual school choice matters, particularly at the elementary level.
