Summary

LincolnKing AdamsYoung Academy High School Grove Campus is a public high school in Detroit, MI, serving 660 students in grades 9-12 within the Lincoln-King Adams-Young Academy district.

This school is facing serious challenges that parents should know about. The graduation rate has dropped dramatically, falling from 93.1% in 2022-2023 to just 68.6% in 2024-2025—well below the state average of 84%. At the same time, chronic absenteeism has exploded: 90.9% of students missed 10% or more of the school year, which is more than three times the state average of 27.9%. This means the vast majority of students are not attending school regularly, which directly impacts their ability to learn and graduate. Test scores are also critically low, with only 5.1% of students proficient in Science, 7.7% in Social Studies, and 13.1% in SAT Reading and Writing—rates that are 7 to 14 times lower than state averages. Additionally, the student-to-teacher ratio is 34.7:1, nearly double that of nearby Mumford High School (17.7:1) and Ferndale High School (17.3:1), meaning students get far less individual attention.

What makes this situation particularly striking is the contrast with schools just a short distance away. Renaissance High School, located less than a mile from this campus, boasts a 99.5% graduation rate, only 26.6% chronic absenteeism, and 78.2% proficiency in SAT Reading/Writing. Even Henry Ford High School, another Detroit public school facing its own struggles, has a lower student-to-teacher ratio (18.3:1) and higher Social Studies proficiency (24.8% vs. 7.7%). The rapid rise in absenteeism and the corresponding drop in graduation rates suggest the school is currently struggling to keep students engaged and on track. For parents considering this school, it is essential to understand these challenges and explore what support systems are in place to help students attend regularly and succeed academically.
