Summary

Frankenmuth High School, part of the highly-rated Frankenmuth School District, serves about 504 students in grades 9-12 in the charming, family-oriented community of Frankenmuth, MI.

This school delivers academic results that are truly a class above. Proficiency rates are roughly double the state average in nearly every subject. For example, 75.6% of students are proficient in SAT Reading and Writing, and 52% are proficient in SAT Math—compared to just 26.5% statewide. The gap with nearby schools is even more dramatic. In SAT Math, Frankenmuth's 52% proficiency rate dwarfs the rates at Millington High School (15.5%), Clio Area High School (18.4%), and Reese High School (27.7%). The school also boasts a near-perfect 97.2% graduation rate and has reported a 0.0% dropout rate for two consecutive years. Impressively, the school achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than many neighboring districts, and it serves its low-income students exceptionally well, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for that subgroup.

While the academic picture is stellar, there is one trend worth watching: chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 10.1% to 21.1% over the past two years. Although still below the state average of 27.9%, it is notably higher than the 10.8% rate at nearby Millington. For families seeking a high-performing school with a strong track record of consistency—it has earned a 5-star rating for 9 of the past 10 years—Frankenmuth High School is an outstanding option that significantly outperforms the surrounding region.
