Schools in Zip Code 48167

Zip code 48167, encompassing the Northville, Michigan area, is served by five schools within the highly-ranked Northville Public Schools district, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks 5th out of 625 districts statewide.

This area is home to an exceptional cluster of traditional public schools, all of which perform in the top 5% of Michigan schools. Amerman Elementary School is the top academic performer, ranking #8 statewide and showing particular strength in upper elementary grades, with 4th and 5th grade ELA proficiency rates of 88.7% and 87.3%. Moraine Elementary School is a close competitor, ranking in the top 18 schools for three consecutive years and posting the highest 4th-grade math scores (91.4%) among the elementary schools. Silver Springs Elementary School shows a unique pattern with exceptional 3rd-grade scores (84.6% ELA, 91.3% Math) that dip significantly by 4th and 5th grades, a trend that has persisted for two years. Hillside Middle School has rebounded to a #9 statewide ranking and excels in 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts with a 90.2% proficiency rate. Notably, there is no traditional high school within this zip code, so families should plan for that transition. The traditional schools serve a predominantly affluent population, with free/reduced lunch rates between 4-9%, and proficiency rates that roughly double state averages across all subjects.

In stark contrast, Cooke School serves a fundamentally different population as an alternative school for grades PK-12. It has a 43.44% free/reduced lunch rate, a 59% chronic absenteeism rate, and receives $72,354 per student—more than 4.5 times the investment of any traditional school in the district. This significant resource allocation reflects its intensive intervention mission for students needing additional support. While the traditional schools show remarkable year-over-year consistency and strong academic outcomes, the district's commitment to its most vulnerable students through Cooke School demonstrates a comprehensive approach to education in this otherwise high-achieving area.
