Bloomfield Hills [[a city) is almost completely with Bloomfield Township [[not a city)

Farmington is almost completely within Farmington Hills

Rochester is almost completely within Rochester Hills

Other oddities, Redford is NOT a city, it is only a township.

Another oddity that some people don't realize is that school districts generally have different borders than the city they may be named after.

Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, and Clawson have school districts that match their borders. Royal Oak almost has matching borders with the Royal Oak school district.

Most other cities don't have a school district with matching borders. Warren has six school districts within its boundaries. Warren Consolidated Schools cover Warren, Sterling Heights, and ever spill over into Troy in Oakland County.

I love researching these political boundaries and why they are the way they are!
St. Clair Shores has 3 school districts.
The 5 Grosse Pointes and a small part of Harper Woods are the opposite sharing one school system.
