Summary:
Capac JrSr High School is the only high school serving grades 7-12 in the Capac Community Schools district, located in Capac, Michigan, with 298 students enrolled.
For parents, the most encouraging news is that this school excels at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. The graduation rate is an impressive 93.0%, which is nine points higher than the state average, and the dropout rate of 4.6% is well below the state norm. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at just 9.4%, compared to 27.9% statewide—a sign that students are consistently showing up. Academically, the school’s clear strength is social studies, where 8th graders scored 54.2% proficiency, beating the state average of 50.3%, and 11th graders nearly matched the state in that subject. However, math is a significant and consistent weakness. Proficiency rates are far below state averages at every grade level, from 7th grade M-Step (21.6% vs. 33.3%) to 8th grade PSAT (9.8% vs. 33.2%) and 11th grade SAT (11.7% vs. 26.5%). Reading and science scores also trail the state, with several subjects showing notable declines from the previous year—most dramatically, 8th grade science dropped from 43.8% to 24.5% proficiency.
Compared to its own district, the high school is a relative bright spot, outperforming district averages in graduation rate, dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism, as well as in most test subjects. Yet the school’s state ranking has slipped from the 46th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, reflecting the downward test-score trends. With per-student spending of $15,956, the school has resources that appear above average, but the persistent math gap and recent declines in science and reading suggest that academic programming may need a closer look. The strong attendance and graduation culture provide a solid foundation, but the low SAT math proficiency (11.7%) raises real concerns about college readiness for graduates.
