Summary

Coleman JuniorSenior High School is a small, rural public school in Coleman, MI, serving 244 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Coleman Community Schools district. Over half of its students (54.5%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting significant economic need in the community.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. On one hand, it excels at keeping students on track: the graduation rate jumped to 94.8% in 2024-2025, well above the state average of 84.0%, and the dropout rate is lower than the state's. Students also perform relatively well in English Language Arts, with 9th and 10th graders scoring above state averages on the PSAT. However, math proficiency is critically low—only about 11% of 8th and 10th graders are proficient, compared to state averages above 31%. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism at 34.6%, which is significantly worse than the state average (27.9%) and much higher than nearby Clare High School (14.3%) or Meridian Early College High School (19.2%).

Perhaps most concerning is a recent decline in outcomes for specific student groups. In 2023-2024, the school ranked in the 89th percentile for serving low-income students, but that fell to the 38th percentile by 2025-2026. Similarly, female students rank in the 51st percentile while male students rank in the 29th percentile—a persistent and widening gap. This comes despite the school spending $19,442 per student, notably higher than Clare High School's $13,596, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. While Coleman JuniorSenior High School outperforms its district's alternative school, Oasis, it lags behind higher-achieving neighbors like Clare High School and Mt Pleasant Senior High School. The high spending not translating into stronger results, especially in math and for male and low-income students, points to areas where targeted interventions are urgently needed.
