High Schools in Utica Community Schools

The Utica Community Schools district in Michigan is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12: Adlai Stevenson High School, Eisenhower High School, Henry Ford II High School, Utica High School, and UCS Alternative Learning Center. The district as a whole is performing well, with all high schools ranked in the top 50% of Michigan high schools.

Among the standout schools, Eisenhower High School consistently ranks among the top 100 high schools in Michigan, with the highest test scores and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 22.85%. Henry Ford II High School is another strong performer, ranking in the top 130-154 high schools in the state with above-average test scores. In contrast, the UCS Alternative Learning Center has significantly lower test scores compared to the other schools.

While the district's graduation and dropout rates are on par with the state average, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools is a concern. Additionally, the significant variation in free/reduced-price lunch rates and test scores between the schools suggests potential equity issues within the district, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
