Summary

Fennville Public High School is a mid-sized public high school in the rural community of Fennville, MI, serving 383 students in grades 9-12, where over 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most remarkable thing about Fennville High is its ability to keep students on track to graduate. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school posted a stunning 97.9% graduation rate and a dropout rate of just 1.0%. This dramatically outperforms the state averages (84.0% graduation, 7.1% dropout) and even surpasses highly-rated nearby schools like Saugatuck High School (95.2%) and Hamilton High School (94.4%). This is especially noteworthy given that Fennville's chronic absenteeism rate (37.9%) is well above the state average, suggesting the school is successfully recovering and supporting students who might otherwise fall through the cracks. In contrast, alternative schools in the region, such as Fennville Alternative High School (25% grad rate) and Allegan Alternative High School (19.1%), have drastically lower graduation rates, indicating Fennville's main campus is effectively serving its student population without needing to divert students to separate programs.

Academically, Fennville's standardized test scores lag behind state averages and its more affluent neighbors—schools like Saugatuck and Hamilton, located within 7 miles, serve far fewer low-income students (20-23% vs. Fennville's 75%) and post proficiency rates that are often double or triple Fennville's. However, the school is on a clear upward trajectory. Its state ranking has climbed from the 8th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 39th percentile for 2025-2026. Perhaps most promising, the current 9th-grade class significantly outperforms the state on PSAT assessments in both English Language Arts (67.8% vs. 60.2% proficiency) and math (44.8% vs. 33.5%), suggesting recent academic interventions may be taking hold. The school's primary challenge moving forward will be addressing a persistent achievement gap for its Hispanic students, who currently rank in the 22nd percentile statewide compared to the 43rd percentile for White students at the same school.
