Summary

Carrollton High School is a public high school in Saginaw, MI, serving 431 students in grades 9-12 within the Carrollton Public Schools district, where nearly three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Carrollton High School stands out as a strong performer within its own district, and even more notably, it achieves exceptional results with its African American students, ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide for this group—a consistent strength over the past three years. The school also posts a solid 89.5% graduation rate, far exceeding its district's 76.6% rate and beating the state average of 84.0%. Its dropout rate of just 2.3% is dramatically lower than the district's 10.6%. Academically, Carrollton outperforms its district across nearly all subjects and grade levels on state assessments. However, the school faces significant challenges. Mathematics proficiency is critically low, with only about 5-7% of 9th and 10th graders proficient in PSAT Math, compared to state averages around 31-33%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major obstacle, affecting 46.3% of students—well above the state's 27.9% rate. While the school excels with one student subgroup, it struggles with others, including Hispanic students (20th percentile) and Special Education students (19th percentile), suggesting that support systems are unevenly effective.

For context, nearby Swan Valley High School, just 8 miles away, serves a more affluent population and ranks in the 85th percentile, with SAT Math proficiency at 43.3% versus Carrollton's 9.5% and a chronic absenteeism rate of only 11.7%. Yet Carrollton's graduation rate is comparable to Saginaw United High School's 91.6%, despite Saginaw United facing even higher absenteeism. Within its own district, Carrollton High School is a clear standout compared to Omni High School, which has a 56% graduation rate and 26% dropout rate. For parents, Carrollton High School offers a committed environment that successfully graduates most of its students, though math support and attendance remain key areas to watch.
