Summary:
Ubly, Michigan is served by a single high school, Ubly Community JrSr High School, which is part of the Ubly Community Schools district and educates students in grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 305 students.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that this is a school on a strong upward trajectory. Ubly Community JrSr High School has dramatically improved its state ranking, jumping from the 53rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 79th percentile in 2025-2026, now ranking #171 out of 800 Michigan high schools. The school excels in English Language Arts and Math, with PSAT proficiency rates for 8th and 9th graders reaching 82.2% and 84.4% respectively—far exceeding state averages. Students also perform well on the SAT, with 63.6% proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing compared to the state's 52.1%. The school maintains an exceptional 97.6% graduation rate and a very low 2.3% dropout rate, both significantly better than state averages. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.3%, a fraction of the state's 27.9%, indicating a highly engaged student body.
However, there is one clear area of concern: science proficiency. While 8th-grade social studies (68.9%) and 11th-grade social studies (45.5%) exceed state averages, science scores lag notably—8th-grade science proficiency is 33.3% (state: 39.2%) and 11th-grade science is just 12.1% (state: 35.2%). This stark contrast with the school's otherwise strong performance suggests a potential need for additional science resources. With 38.69% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 19.2, the school serves a moderately diverse economic population while spending $13,272 per student. Overall, Ubly Community JrSr High School offers a supportive, high-achieving environment, though parents of students interested in science should inquire about curriculum enhancements.
