Summary:
Zip code 48334, located in Farmington Hills, MI, is served by a single middle school, Warner Middle School, which enrolls 559 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Farmington Public School District.
Warner Middle School stands out for its exceptional 8th-grade English Language Arts performance on the PSAT, where 76.5% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 64.8% and nearly matching the district's 76.4%. The school has also shown consistent improvement in its state ranking, climbing from the 71st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026. Academically, the school outperforms the state in every reported subject and grade, with particular strengths in 7th-grade math (46% proficient vs. 33.3% statewide). However, a notable challenge exists in 8th-grade math on the PSAT, where only 39.3% of students are proficient—a 37.2 percentage-point gap compared to the school's own ELA scores. This represents a recovery from the previous year's 29.8% proficiency rate, suggesting possible volatility in a single cohort.
Demographically, 26.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a middle-class community. The chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1% is slightly above the district's 22.3% but below the state's 27.9%, an area worth monitoring. The school benefits from substantial resources, spending $18,422 per student and maintaining a favorable 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio, which supports personalized attention. While Warner Middle School generally exceeds state averages, it occasionally trails its own district in science and social studies—for instance, district 8th-grade science proficiency is 46.6% versus the school's 40.2%. Overall, this well-funded school is on a positive trajectory, though parents should note the math-ELA disparity as students prepare for high school.
