Summary:
Clarenceville High School is the sole high school in the Clarenceville School District, serving grades 9-12 in Livonia, Michigan, with 562 students and a 56.9% free/reduced lunch rate.
Because this is the only high school in the district, its performance defines the district entirely. The most encouraging news for parents is that the school graduates 89% of its students—5 points above the state average—and has a dropout rate of just 5.1%, well below the state’s 7.1%. However, academic proficiency on state tests lags significantly. In 2025-2026, only 7.7% of 9th graders and 10.2% of 10th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 33.5% and 31.5% respectively. Reading and writing scores are stronger but still below state levels: 38.5% of 11th graders met SAT reading/writing benchmarks versus 52.1% statewide. Science proficiency (20.3%) also trails the state (35.2%). The school has held a 1-star rating for three consecutive years, though its percentile rank improved from 15th to 28th in the latest year.
There are notable bright spots. Social studies proficiency nearly doubled in one year, jumping from 19.1% to 36.4%, and science and reading scores also improved. Still, chronic absenteeism is a serious concern—40.1% of students miss significant school time, far above the state’s 27.9% and even above the district’s own 35.8% rate. With per-student spending of $14,733 and a 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio, the school has reasonable resources. The key takeaway for parents: the school successfully keeps students on track to graduate, but incoming 9th graders often arrive behind grade level, especially in math. If your child needs strong academic support or you value high graduation rates over test scores, this school may fit—but be prepared to address math gaps early.
