Summary

Charyl Stockwell Academy High School is a public charter high school in Brighton, MI, serving 334 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Charyl Stockwell Academy district.

This school stands out for its exceptional literacy instruction. In the most recent testing year, 70% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT reading and writing section—well above the state average of 52.1%—and 9th and 10th graders also outperformed state averages by 14 to 21 percentage points on the PSAT English Language Arts assessment. The school is particularly effective with students from lower-income backgrounds, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for this group in 2024-2025. Science and social studies scores are also strong, with roughly half of 11th graders proficient in each subject. However, math is a notable weak spot: only 27.1% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT math section, essentially matching the state average but falling far behind nearby Brighton High School (51.6%) and South Lyon High School (49.3%).

Financially, the school is efficient. It spends about $11,388 per student—roughly 20-35% less than neighboring traditional publics like Brighton ($14,087) and Howell High School ($13,740)—yet still outperforms Howell in reading proficiency (70% vs. 62.5%). The graduation rate is strong at 92.5%, though it has dipped from 96.9% the prior year, and chronic absenteeism has improved steadily to 22.1%, now below the state average. One thing to keep in mind: the school's state ranking has been volatile, swinging from 26th to 168th in consecutive years, which is common for smaller schools where a single cohort can shift results. Overall, this is a cost-effective option with standout reading outcomes, particularly for students who need extra support, but families should weigh the math performance gap carefully.
