Summary:

Meads Mill Middle School is a public middle school located in Northville, Michigan, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 671 students. The school is part of the Northville Public Schools district, which is ranked 9th out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meads Mill Middle School consistently ranks among the top 25 middle schools in Michigan, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step and PSAT assessments are significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, 70.2% of 6th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.5%. In math, 75.3% of 6th-grade students were proficient, compared to the state average of 31%. The school also has a diverse student population, with a significant Asian student population (24.29% in 2022-2023), who consistently rank among the top 12 middle schools in Michigan for academic performance.

Meads Mill Middle School consistently outperforms nearby schools, such as Hillside Middle School (also in the Northville Public Schools district) and schools in the Livonia Public Schools and Plymouth-Canton Community Schools districts. The school's performance is particularly strong among specific student subgroups, such as female students, Asian students, and Hispanic students, who consistently rank among the top middle schools in Michigan. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 6.9% in 2018-2019 to 17.8% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote One of the worst schools ever! the math book they follow is the worstits Big Ideas math. every problem is different in it with hardly any examples. Also, the teachers themselves dont know anything.They have maths as the last period , that too for only 45 mins and other crap classes for 1 hour+. God knows what they teach in class. They teach one section, and then give 60 sums for Homework the same day, and the very next day , they keep a test including the entire chapter! how on earth are little kids supposed to finish 60 sums(which are not taught in class) and also prepare for a test in one evening! this is ridiculous! They have so many projects(half of them are useless) All the subjects here are BAD! but maths is the worst among them! no answer key or any sought of help is given to help the students also.Very bad management and staff. I have only suffered for the 2-3 years that my child went to this school! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
