Summary:
Fenton CHSD 100 has one public high school, Fenton High School, serving grades 9–12 in the Fenton area; enrollment was 1,396 in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, graduation was 88%, compared with 90% statewide, while the dropout rate was 2% both at Fenton and statewide. The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 51% of Fenton students were chronically absent, versus 24% statewide, a 28-point gap.
Fenton High School is the only school in the district, so there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison of top and bottom performers. Its strongest relative subject area is math: the average across the three grade and test comparisons was 35%, 4 points below the state average of 39%. Science averaged 43% versus 48% statewide, while ELA averaged 46% versus 55% statewide, the largest average shortfall at 9 points. Fenton was below the state in all nine subject, grade and test comparisons. SchoolDigger’s district listing ranks it 529th of 738 schools, at the 28th percentile with 1 star; a separate rank history reports 367th of 620, at the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Because the data covers only one school, it cannot show how Fenton compares with other schools in the area.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Fenton’s relative position improved in three of nine comparisons and worsened in six. Grade 10 math and science scores rose 8 and 4 points, respectively, while grade 9 ELA fell 7 points; grade 11 ACT scores declined in all three subjects. Grade 9 math also shifted from 3 points above the state to 2 points below. Other context for families: the student–teacher ratio was 15.1 in 2024–2025, and 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. These figures describe the school but do not establish what accounts for its results.
