Summary

Eau Claire High School is a small public high school in Eau Claire, MI, serving roughly 180 students in grades 9-12 within the Eau Claire Public Schools district, where the vast majority of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most remarkable thing about this school is its graduation rate. Year after year, Eau Claire High School graduates about 91% of its students—a rate that beats the state average and far exceeds its own district's overall numbers. For example, in 2022-2023, the high school graduated 92.5% of its students while the district as a whole only graduated 66.6%. The school also keeps its dropout rate very low (around 3%), which is less than half the state average. This is especially impressive when you compare it to Benton Harbor High School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but has a 64.7% graduation rate and a 19.8% dropout rate. Eau Claire High School also spends less per student than Benton Harbor while achieving far better outcomes. Chronic absenteeism has been a challenge, but the school has made huge strides, cutting its rate from 61.1% to 25.2% over three years—now actually below the state average.

However, there is a cautionary note. After a strong 2024-2025 school year where the school ranked in the 66th percentile statewide, test scores dropped dramatically in 2025-2026, falling to the 21st percentile. Proficiency rates on state tests were roughly cut in half across all subjects. Because the school is so small, one challenging class can swing the numbers significantly, but the decline was consistent across all student groups. While the school's graduation rates and improving attendance suggest a solid foundation, the recent academic dip is something to watch. For context, nearby Lakeshore High School serves a more affluent population and posts much higher test scores, while Berrien Springs High School also outperforms on academics but has a similar graduation rate. Eau Claire High School's strength clearly lies in getting students to the finish line, even if test scores fluctuate.
