Summary

Flushing High School is a large public high school in Flushing, MI, serving 1,229 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Flushing Community Schools district.

Flushing High School has shown a strong upward trend in recent years, climbing from the 47th percentile to the 61st percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This places it in the top half of Michigan high schools, a notable recovery after a dip during the pandemic-affected 2020-2021 school year. The school's graduation rate is a standout metric at 92.7%, well above both the district average (86.3%) and the state average (84.0%). Its dropout rate of 3.7% is also roughly half the state average, indicating strong student retention. Academically, 52.3% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 25.5% are proficient in SAT Math—figures that dramatically outpace nearby schools like CarmanAinsworth High School (27.8% reading, 7.3% math) and EA Johnson Memorial High School (26.9% reading, 4.9% math).

While Flushing performs well overall, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism sits at 26.1%, which is close to the state average but still means more than one in four students misses significant school time. More critically, the school's performance with Special Education students ranks in the 13th percentile, a persistent challenge that suggests the general student population is thriving while this vulnerable group needs more targeted support. Compared to its regional peers, Flushing is a clear standout—nearby schools in the Flint and Mount Morris areas face much higher poverty levels and struggle with graduation rates as low as 75.7% at Beecher High School and chronic absenteeism exceeding 60%. The only nearby school that consistently outperforms Flushing is New Lothrop High School, which ranks in the 71st percentile with a 98.8% graduation rate. Flushing also spends less per student ($13,799) than many lower-performing neighboring districts, suggesting efficient use of resources to achieve strong results.
