Taylor Preparatory High School

Summary:

Taylor Preparatory High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Taylor, Michigan area, with a total enrollment of 420 students. The school has demonstrated a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with fluctuating statewide rankings but strong academic performance in certain subject areas.

Taylor Preparatory High School currently ranks 183 out of 739 Michigan high schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has outperformed the state average in Social Studies (57.7% vs. 42.1%) and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (62.2% vs. 55.4%), but underperformed in Mathematics (27% vs. 27.5%) for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 82.8%, a positive indicator, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is a concern.

With a per-student spending of $13,595 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.6 for the 2023-2024 school year, Taylor Preparatory High School appears to be allocating resources effectively to support student learning. However, the school's fluctuating statewide ranking and areas of academic underperformance suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to address challenges and build upon its strengths.
