Summary:
Swartz Creek Community Schools operates a single high school, Swartz Creek High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance is generally below average compared to other high schools in Michigan, ranking 475 out of 739 schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Swartz Creek High School struggles with several key metrics, including a 82.8% four-year graduation rate, a 7.6% dropout rate, and a concerning 29.5% chronic absenteeism rate - all of which are worse than the state averages. The school's academic performance on standardized tests is also below par, with only 28.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, compared to the state average of 34.9%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 49.32% free and reduced lunch rate.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have a slightly higher spending per student ($12,956) and student-teacher ratio (20.3) compared to the state averages. However, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the Swartz Creek Community Schools district. Overall, Swartz Creek High School appears to be a relatively low-performing school that could benefit from targeted interventions and additional support to address its areas of underperformance.
