Summary

DeWitt High School is a highly successful public high school in DeWitt, MI, serving 944 students in grades 9-12 within the top-rated DeWitt Public Schools district.

For parents, the most striking takeaway is that DeWitt High School consistently delivers elite academic results. Ranked 34th out of 800 Michigan high schools (96th percentile) for 2025-2026, it is the clear academic leader in its region. Its closest competitor, East Lansing High School, ranks 130th, while other nearby schools like Bath High School perform near the state average, and schools in the Lansing Public School District (such as JW Sexton High School and Eastern High School) lag far behind. Academically, DeWitt's proficiency rates are roughly double the state average in nearly every subject—for example, 80.7% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Reading/Writing versus 52.1% statewide, and 56% are proficient in SAT Math versus 26.5% statewide. The school also boasts a 97.3% graduation rate (state average: 84%) and a dropout rate of just 1.3%.

What makes this success even more notable is its consistency and breadth. DeWitt ranks in the 95th percentile or higher for male, female, and white students, and also performs strongly with students from low-income backgrounds (92nd percentile) and special education students (87th percentile). The school achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,707) than nearby East Lansing High School ($15,407) and dramatically less than JW Sexton ($24,562) or Eastern High ($21,269)—a sign of highly efficient resource use. While the school saw a temporary dip in rankings during the 2022-2023 school year (likely pandemic-related), it rebounded strongly, with science proficiency jumping from 36.2% to 65.1% the following year. For parents seeking a college-preparatory environment, DeWitt High School stands out as the premier choice in the region, effectively preparing students for higher education through strong SAT/PSAT performance and a well-rounded curriculum.
