Summary

Charlevoix Middle High School serves 387 students in grades 7-12 in the lakeside community of Charlevoix, MI, and is part of the highly rated Charlevoix Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 86th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in science and social studies. In 11th grade, 58.6% of students are proficient in science and 74.6% in social studies—far exceeding state averages of 35.2% and 43.2%, respectively. These scores also dramatically outpace nearby Harbor Springs High School (26.2% science, 34.9% social studies) and Petoskey High School (50% science, 51.6% social studies). What makes this even more impressive is that Charlevoix serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (40.57% free/reduced lunch) compared to Harbor Springs (13.85%) and Petoskey (18.45%), yet still achieves a higher overall academic ranking than Harbor Springs and matches Petoskey. The school also posts a 96.7% graduation rate and a remarkably low 1.6% dropout rate, with a healthy 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio.

Charlevoix demonstrates strong results across all student subgroups, with low-income students ranking in the 89th percentile statewide and both male and female students ranking in the 84th-88th percentiles. Its 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts proficiency is exceptional at 86.8% versus the state's 64.8%, showing no typical "middle school dip." The school also keeps chronic absenteeism at 16.8%—far below Petoskey's 31.4%. While 7th-grade math proficiency (29%) trails the state average (33.3%), SAT math scores are strong (40.7% vs. 26.5% state). Notably, Charlevoix achieves these results while spending $20,672 per student—less than Harbor Springs ($26,564) and East Jordan MiddleHigh School ($21,285)—demonstrating efficient resource use. After a post-pandemic dip, the school rebounded to the 97th percentile for two consecutive years, showing remarkable resilience and a capacity for continuous improvement.
