Summary

Crockett Midtown High School of Science and Medicine is a small, specialized high school in Detroit's Midtown area, serving 191 students in grades 9-12 within the Detroit Public Schools Community District.

This school stands out for its remarkable graduation rate of 93.9%, which is more than 10 points higher than the district average and nearly 10 points above the state average. That's a significant achievement, especially considering that 58.6% of students experience chronic absenteeism—a rate more than double the state average. In other words, the school is successfully guiding a high proportion of its students to graduation despite attendance challenges. The school also shows a notable strength in social studies, where 11th-grade proficiency (48.6%) actually surpasses both the district (33.7%) and state (43.2%) averages. Science proficiency (28.6%) is also a relative bright spot, coming close to the state average and not far behind the much larger, selective-admission Cass Technical High School (38.6%), located less than a mile away. However, math scores are a serious concern—only 6.67% of 9th graders are proficient, far below district and state averages.

Perhaps the most encouraging news is the school's recent trajectory. After ranking in the 4th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, Crockett Midtown jumped to the 27th percentile in 2025-2026—a dramatic one-year improvement that suggests recent changes may be taking hold. The school also spends significantly more per student ($24,639) than nearby schools like Cass Tech ($17,670) or Martin Luther King Junior Senior High School ($18,960), reflecting its investment in small class sizes (14.6:1 ratio) and specialized programming. While the school's name emphasizes science and medicine, its current test scores tell a more complex story: strong in social studies and science, but struggling in math and reading. For parents, this is a school that clearly prioritizes getting students across the graduation finish line, with a recent upward trend worth watching closely.
