FARMINGTON 56 CAMPUS

Farmington 56 Campus is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Garden City Public Schools school district, located in GARDEN CITY, MI with about 446 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, Farmington 56 Campus has a student/teacher ratio of about 31:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Farmington 56 Campus, located at 33411 Marquette Ave in Garden City, Michigan, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Garden City Public Schools district. The campus is primarily recognized for housing the district’s alternative and specialized programming, designed to provide a supportive environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional academic setting. By offering smaller class sizes and more personalized instruction, the school focuses on credit recovery, academic acceleration, and meeting the unique social-emotional needs of its student body to ensure they remain on track for graduation.

Beyond its academic offerings, the Farmington 56 Campus plays a vital role in the district’s commitment to educational inclusivity. The facility is equipped to foster a sense of community for students who require a more flexible approach to learning than what is typically provided in a large comprehensive high school. By bridging the gap between student potential and academic achievement, the campus provides a critical path for success, emphasizing goal-setting, individual accountability, and the necessary resources to help students transition effectively into post-secondary education or the workforce.
