High Schools in Union City Community Schools

Summary:

The Union City Community Schools district in Michigan has only one high school, Union City High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced significant challenges, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a declining statewide ranking, from 534 out of 739 schools in 2024-2025 to 473 out of 743 schools in 2023-2024.

Academically, Union City High School has struggled, with proficiency rates on state assessments consistently lagging behind the state averages in subjects like M-Step/Science, M-Step/Social Studies, SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average.

Demographic and financial factors may play a role in the school's challenges. Union City High School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (58.44% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $16,491, which is higher than the state average, but the school's performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated to address the academic and attendance issues faced by the students.
