Summary:
The city of Utica, Michigan is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Utica High School, Eppler Junior High School, and Flickinger Elementary School. These schools are part of the Utica Community Schools district.
Among the standout schools, Utica High School is ranked 156 out of 739 Michigan high schools and has a 4-star rating, with a relatively high graduation rate of 82.8% and strong performance on standardized tests. Eppler Junior High School is also a high performer, ranked 228 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and earning a 4-star rating, with consistently high scores on PSAT and M-Step tests.
While Flickinger Elementary School has some high-performing grade levels, it also has areas where student proficiency lags behind the district and state averages. This school also has the highest spending per student at $16,468, but this does not necessarily translate to the best overall academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and student demographics, play a significant role in student outcomes.
