Michigan's 100 Best Public Schools: Where Does Your School Rank?

The Bloomfield Hills School District is the best in Michigan, and the Birmingham, Novi, Saline, Grosse Pointe and Troy were ranked Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7 in a new list of the nation’s top school districts.

The ranking and review website Niche, which was founded in 2002 by Carnegie Mellon University students and previously known as CollegeProwler.com, based its findings on key data from 8,738 school districts and 4.6 million opinions from 280,000 students and parents.

The Best Public School Districts ranking provides a comprehensive assessment of the overall experience at public school districts in the United States and Puerto Rico. It uses data sourced from various government and public data sets, Niche’s own proprietary data, and 4,624,238 opinion-based survey responses across a variety of topics from 287,606 current students, recent alumni, and parents.

A high ranking in overall experience generally indicates that:

• Students are very happy with their experience in all aspects including academics, teachers, health, safety, resources, facilities, extracurriculars, sports, and fitness;
• District schools are exceptional academic institutions in terms of teachers, students, resources for learning, and student outcomes;
• District schools are made up of a diverse population and fosters an accepting, positive school culture;
