Summary

Calumet High School in Calumet, MI, is a mid-sized public high school serving 525 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Public Schools of Calumet Laurium & Keweenaw district, and it has earned a strong 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

If your family values strong literacy and science education, Calumet is an excellent choice. The school is a standout in reading and writing, with nearly 70% of students proficient on the SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section—far above the state average of 52%. This strength shows up early, with 9th and 10th graders also scoring well above state averages on the PSAT. In science and social studies, Calumet also shines, with 56.7% and 55% of 11th graders proficient, respectively, significantly outpacing the state averages and even rivaling the highly-rated Houghton Central High School. The school has shown remarkable resilience, rebounding from a difficult 2021-2022 year to a 90th-percentile ranking the following year, and it has maintained a 4-star rating since. Its graduation rate has also climbed impressively to 89.6%, with the dropout rate falling to just 1.6%.

However, there are two areas to consider. First, while Calumet's math proficiency (31.9%) is above the state average, it lags behind its own stellar reading scores and is notably lower than the 42.1% proficiency at nearby Jeffers High School. If your student needs extra math support, this is worth investigating. Second, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern at 30.4%, which is higher than the state average and considerably higher than nearby schools like Hancock MiddleHigh School (17.4%) and Jeffers (18.5%). This suggests that while engaged students are thriving and graduating, a growing number are missing substantial school time. For a family prioritizing humanities and science in a supportive, improving environment, Calumet is a top contender—just be sure to ask about math support and attendance initiatives.
