Summary

International Academy of Macomb is a public high school in Clinton Township, MI, serving 461 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district. This International Baccalaureate (IB) school has ranked in the top 3 schools in Michigan every year for over a decade, earning a 5-star rating and 100th percentile placement statewide each year.

What truly sets this school apart is its extraordinary academic performance. Proficiency rates are 2.5 to 3.3 times higher than district averages—for example, 87.7% of 11th graders are proficient in math versus 32.8% district-wide, and 96.3% of 9th graders are proficient in English Language Arts versus 68.2% district-wide. These results tower over nearby comprehensive high schools like Chippewa Valley High School (21.3% math proficiency) and Dakota High School (34.5% math proficiency), despite all three sharing the same district funding. The school also maintains a near-perfect graduation rate (96.3% in 2024-2025) with zero dropouts in four of the past five years.

Perhaps most impressive is the school's success across all student groups. Despite 27.1% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school ranks #3 statewide for low socioeconomic status students—a stark contrast to alternative schools in the area like DiAnne M Pellerin Center (50.8% graduation rate) or Mount Clemens High School. The school's unique IB model, which combines large-group lectures with small seminars, achieves these results with a per-student spend of $17,326—only modestly higher than peer schools yet producing dramatically better outcomes. For parents seeking a rigorous, globally-focused education with proven results, this school delivers exceptional value and consistency.

Our Twins graduated with the Class of 2016 .... 100 graduation rate, nearly 100 College bound grads. The Principal has created an excellent path for the faculty to follow so the students become HIGH achievers. Our kids say college is extremely easy due to the HS educations via IAM. We and they are very thankful. Close Quote

I attend this school as a full time student, and I have one thing to say, the program is amazing. I would attend a high school much worse than this if I didn't attend here, the people are much more focused on education than any other high school. The IB degree one can obtain from the program rivals and trumps any AP load in the state or even the nation. My other friends I keep in touch with are so far behind us in terms of material covered, especially in the languages, History, English, and Science. I would encourage all students to encourage their students to attend, yet the program is as tough as I make it out to be and is not for everyone. The average student is to EXPECT 2 to 3 hours to night, sometimes more. The staff though are not hired because they can coach or some non school related purpose, they are hired because they can teach. Close Quote

I am about to be a sophomore at the IAM and there are terrible teachers who dont care if their students learn, it is an easy curriculum, and I have learned nothing during freshman year. Close Quote
