Waterford School District is located at the center of Oakland County in southeast Michigan, a short commute northwest from Detroit. The district encompasses Waterford Township and portions of the surrounding townships of White Lake, West Bloomfield, Independence and Lake Angelus.

Waterford Township is composed of a group of residential communities transected by major highways giving residents access to metropolitan areas including Canada. Light industry and retailing are primary businesses. The township also includes the Oakland International Airport.

The average Waterford resident commutes to work within a half hour drive. Housing is typical commuter spanning a wide range of values. Surrounding lakes, county parks and proximity to metropolitan entertainment venues make the area attractive to potential residents. Our expanding township library, new town hall and active senior citizen's center show the residents' commitment to their community. The history of millage elections demonstrates the residents' continuing support of local educational excellence.
