The MSTEP standardized testing is a stressful exam for young students, so how have they been holding up in the past decade? In the Farmington-Hills public school district, the scores in the school years of 2014-2015 and 2017-2018 have been the strongest, with students attaining scores of 58.3% and 60.1%, respectively. Compared to the statewide averages of 48.8% and 45.7%, the students in this district have gotten around 10-16% higher than the state average in those years.
While there has been a slow decline in scores from 2018 to 2023, in their most recent tests in 2024, the students scored an average of 57.7%, 14.3% higher than the state average. One notable school in the district is Forest Elementary, where the students have routinely scored higher than 60% in the past decade, and their highest scores have surpassed 80% in the 2017- 2018 school year.
