Clawson Public Schools operates a single high school, Clawson High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 82.8%, it struggles in several areas compared to the state average.
Clawson Public Schools' lone high school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate significantly in recent years, ranging from 228 out of 743 schools in 2023-2024 to 637 out of 735 schools in 2022-2023. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the M-Step and SAT, is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in subjects like science, math, and social studies lagging behind the Michigan average. Additionally, Clawson High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

The school's dropout rate of 7.6% is also higher than the state average, and 41.67% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 17:1 is slightly lower than the state average, the data suggests that Clawson High School is a relatively average-performing school in Michigan that may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address its academic and engagement challenges.
