Oakland FlexTech High School

Q: Is Oakland FlexTech High School a good school?

Oakland FlexTech High School ranks 370 th of 743 Michigan high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oakland FlexTech High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Farmington Hills, Michigan, with a student population of 201. The school is part of the Oakland FlexTech High School District, which is ranked 298 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Oakland FlexTech High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (67.16%) compared to nearby schools like Clarenceville High School (46.29% African American) and Farmington Central High School (45.1% white), its academic performance is generally lower. In 2023-2024, only 40.4% of Oakland FlexTech students were proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 84.2% at Northville High School and 65.1% at Farmington High School. Additionally, Oakland FlexTech has a four-year graduation rate of 78.3%, which is lower than the surrounding high-performing schools.

These academic disparities may be linked to the school's higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.25% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to schools like Northville High School (6.64%) and Novi High School (10.99%). Additionally, Oakland FlexTech has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.6% in 2020-2021, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance and graduation rates. The nearby Oakland Early College, a public charter school, outperforms Oakland FlexTech High School on several key metrics, suggesting that the charter school model can be successful in the area, but the specific implementation and resources at Oakland FlexTech High School may be limiting its effectiveness.

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.

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.
