Summary

Wylie E Groves High School is a highly regarded public high school in Beverly Hills, MI, serving 1,108 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Birmingham Public Schools district.

Groves is an excellent school by nearly any measure. Its graduation rate has held steady around 96% for the past five years—well above the state average of 84%—and its dropout rate is a tiny 0.6%. Students perform well above state averages on standardized tests, and the school has earned a 5-star rating for almost the entire past decade. One of its most notable strengths is its success with African American and Hispanic students, who scored in the 90th and 96th percentiles statewide in the most recent school year. That said, there are a couple of areas worth watching. Math proficiency is a relative weak spot compared to reading and writing: while 71.3% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, only 51.5% hit the mark in SAT Math. Groves also reports higher chronic absenteeism (12.7%) than its district average (9.1%), though that's still far better than the state rate of 27.9%.

For parents comparing schools in the area, context is helpful. Groves is the lower-performing of the two high schools in its own district—Ernest W Seaholm High School outperforms it in nearly every academic metric, including a 65.7% vs. 51.5% SAT Math proficiency rate. Nearby Berkley High School and Royal Oak High School are also strong options. Interestingly, University High School Academy, a magnet school in the neighboring Southfield district, serves a much higher percentage of students from low-income families yet achieves comparable—and in some cases better—test scores, showing that school culture and targeted support can matter as much as demographics. Groves' state ranking has slipped slightly in recent years (from 48th to 79th), but it remains firmly in the top 10-15% of Michigan high schools, making it a solid choice for families seeking a rigorous, supportive academic environment.

Open Quote All my kids went thru Groves High School, Very Diverse school and teachers prepared them well for College. They need to update the Tech in the school. Needless to carry 20 pound backpacks to and from class. Time to go all digital. Close Quote
