Ecorse Community High School

770^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 800 Michigan High Schools

Better than 4% of Michigan high schools

Summary

Ecorse Community High School is a small public high school in Ecorse, MI, serving 340 students in grades 9-12 within the Ecorse Public Schools district, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, this school faces significant challenges. State test scores are critically low—only 5.7% of 11th graders were proficient in Science and 8% in Social Studies, compared to state averages of 35.2% and 43.2%. On the SAT, just 15.6% met proficiency in reading and writing versus 52.1% statewide. The school currently ranks in the 4th percentile of Michigan high schools (770 out of 800). Perhaps the most striking issue is chronic absenteeism: 75.2% of students are chronically absent—nearly triple the state average of 27.9% and the second-highest rate among nearby schools, surpassed only by River Rouge High School (85.9%).

There are some positive signs worth noting. The graduation rate has rebounded to 81.1% for 2024-2025, close to the state average of 84% and higher than the district's overall rate of 75.4%. However, this creates a puzzling contrast with the high absenteeism and low test scores, suggesting students may be earning credits despite missing significant instructional time. The school also spends generously—$20,368 per student—more than higher-performing neighbors like Allen Park High School ($15,207) and Roosevelt High School ($16,181), yet this investment hasn't translated into stronger academic outcomes. When compared to River Rouge High School—just 1.81 miles away and serving a similarly high-poverty population—Ecorse's graduation rate (81.1%) trails River Rouge's (88.1%), suggesting there may be room for improvement in how the school supports students toward completion.
