Summary:
Stockbridge Community Schools is home to a single high school, Stockbridge JrSr High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 with 481 students in a moderately economically diverse Michigan community where 37.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Stockbridge JrSr High School presents a mixed academic profile that varies sharply by grade level and subject. The school’s greatest strengths appear in 8th grade, where students significantly outperform state averages in Social Studies (67.6% proficient vs. 50.3% statewide) and PSAT English Language Arts (77.9% vs. 64.8%). This “8th-grade peak” does not carry into high school, as 9th and 10th grade ELA and math scores fall to near or below state averages. The school also shows a clear subject divide: Social Studies is a consistent standout across both 8th and 11th grades, while math and science proficiency lags in nearly every grade tested, with 7th-grade math at 24.4% (state: 33.3%) and 11th-grade science at just 23.6% (state: 35.2%).
On positive notes, the school’s graduation rate of 87.6% exceeds the state average of 84.0%, and its state ranking has improved recently, moving from the 42nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026. However, chronic absenteeism affects 26.2% of students—higher than the district’s overall 20.1% rate—and the dropout rate of 7.8% slightly exceeds the state’s 7.1%. The school spends a substantial $15,417 per student, yet results in core STEM subjects remain below average, and a student-teacher ratio of 16.3 may limit individualized support. Year-over-year test scores also show notable volatility (e.g., 11th-grade science dropped from 38.7% to 23.6% in one year), suggesting inconsistent performance that parents should monitor closely across grade transitions.
