Summary

Allegan High School is a public high school in Allegan, MI, serving 543 students in grades 9-12 within the Allegan Public Schools district, located in a rural setting. The school has shown a strong upward trend in its state ranking over the past few years, moving from the 18th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026, indicating solid overall improvement.

Allegan High School demonstrates clear strengths in humanities and science. In the 2025-2026 school year, 50.5% of 11th graders were proficient in Social Studies (compared to the state's 43.2%) and 39.3% were proficient in Science (versus the state's 35.2%). The school also performs well in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT. However, mathematics remains a significant and persistent challenge—only 15.9% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Math versus the state average of 26.5%, a gap that has remained stagnant over four years. This math deficiency contrasts sharply with the school's improving overall rank, suggesting gains in other subjects are driving its positive trajectory. Compared to nearby Otsego High School (31.4% math proficiency) and Hopkins High School, Allegan's math scores lag significantly behind these higher-performing neighbors.

While Allegan High School outperforms its own district—with a graduation rate of 82.6% versus the district's 60.6%—it faces notable challenges. Chronic absenteeism remains high at 30.1% (above the state average of 27.9% and far higher than Hopkins at 10.9%), and the dropout rate spiked to 11.5% in 2024-2025 after several years of improvement. This recent increase is concerning and suggests the school may be struggling to engage a segment of its student population even as it excels with college-bound students. The school vastly outperforms its district's alternative program, Allegan Alternative High School, which has a 19.1% graduation rate. For parents, this means Allegan High School offers strong humanities and science education, but families should be aware of the math challenges and consider how the school's support systems align with their child's needs.
