Summary

Clio Area High School in Clio, MI, serves 684 students in grades 8 through 12 and has earned a solid 3-star rating, placing it in the 63rd percentile of Michigan high schools—a stable, mid-to-upper-tier choice for families in the area.

One of the most encouraging stories here is the school’s dramatic turnaround in supporting students with special needs. In 2017-2018, this subgroup ranked in the bottom 7% statewide; by 2025-2026, they jumped to the 80th percentile, earning a 4-star rating. That kind of improvement signals a real, sustained investment in inclusive education. The school also shines when it comes to keeping students on track: its graduation rate is an impressive 93.4%, well above the state average of 84.0% and far higher than nearby Mt Morris Education and Community Center (48.8%) or Beecher High School. Dropout rates are similarly low at 2.4%, less than half the state average. Even with over half the student body qualifying for free or reduced lunch, low-income students perform in the 66th percentile statewide, showing the school effectively supports learners facing economic challenges.

Academically, Clio outperforms many local peers in science and social studies—43.5% of 11th graders were proficient in science versus just 6% at Hamady Community High School. However, math remains a clear area for growth: only 18.4% of 11th graders met proficiency on the SAT math section, below the state’s 26.5%. Chronic absenteeism (23.5%) is better than the state average but has fluctuated in recent years, so attendance is worth monitoring. Compared to its closest peer, HillMcCloy High School, Clio posts lower chronic absenteeism and a lower dropout rate, though Hill-McCloy edges ahead in reading proficiency. Overall, Clio Area School District families can feel confident that their high school is a standout within the district and a resilient, improving option regionally.
