Summary:
Schoolcraft High School is the sole high school within Schoolcraft Community Schools, serving grades 7-12 for about 502 students in the affluent community of Schoolcraft, Michigan, where only 22% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
This school is a clear academic standout, consistently outperforming state averages across nearly every subject. In the most recent 2025-2026 school year, it earned a 4-star rating and ranked in the 87th percentile statewide. Its greatest strength is social studies, where proficiency rates exceed state averages by 20 to 28 percentage points—8th graders hit 78.8% proficiency versus 50.3% statewide. Reading and writing skills are also strong, with 61.3% of 11th graders proficient on the SAT EBRW section. The school also boasts a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and a 94.6% graduation rate, well above the state’s 84.0%. However, math is the clear weak spot: only 42.7% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Math, and PSAT math scores drop sharply from 58.2% in 9th grade to 40.3% in 10th grade. Chronic absenteeism (15.8%) is higher than the district’s elementary average (11.5%) but still far better than the state’s 27.9%.
One notable quirk is the 2024-2025 school year, when the school’s state ranking plunged to the 49th percentile as 11th-grade scores collapsed across science, social studies, and SAT Math—likely due to a challenging cohort or testing disruption. The school bounced back strongly in 2025-2026, confirming this was an anomaly rather than a systemic decline. With per-student spending of $13,928 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8:1, Schoolcraft delivers top-decile results efficiently. For parents, this is a high-performing school with exceptional humanities instruction and graduation outcomes, though students may need extra support in math to fully prepare for STEM college programs.
