Summary

Henry Ford Early College Advanced Manufacturing is a small, specialized high school in Dearborn, MI, serving 422 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Dearborn City School District. This early college program focuses on advanced manufacturing while allowing students to earn college credits, and it has earned a remarkable 5-star rating, ranking 13th out of 800 high schools in Michigan—a huge jump from its previous rank of 85th.

What truly sets this school apart is its exceptional academic performance, especially given that over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Proficiency rates are more than double the state average in nearly every subject: 87.7% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Reading and Writing (state: 52.1%), and 77.2% are proficient in Social Studies (state: 43.2%). The school ranks 5th in the state for both Male Students and Low Socio-Economic Status Students, and 7th for English Language Learners—demonstrating that it is exceptionally effective at closing achievement gaps. Its graduation rate of 96.3% far exceeds the state average of 84.0%, and its dropout rate is roughly half the state average. The contrast with nearby schools is stark: Dearborn High School, just 1.7 miles away, has a 55.7% proficiency rate in SAT Reading and only 26% in Math, while Cody High School in Detroit has a 7.7% Reading proficiency rate.

One interesting note: the school shares a campus with its sister school, Henry Ford Early College, and both are top-20 schools in the state. However, HFE-CAM excels in Reading (87.7% proficient) but has lower math proficiency (49.4%), while its sister school shows a more balanced profile. The school also operates efficiently, spending $12,461 per student compared to $17,114 at Dearborn High and $25,795 at Henry Ford Early College. The student-teacher ratio of 39.4:1 is exceptionally high, suggesting a unique instructional model that leverages college courses and online learning. While recent chronic absenteeism data is unavailable, the school's 2021-2022 rate of 8.4% was remarkably low compared to the district's 33.7% that same year.
