Summary

Frankfort High School, part of the Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools district, serves 248 students in grades 6-12 in the lakeside community of Frankfort, MI. This small school packs a big punch academically, consistently ranking in the top 20% of high schools statewide and earning a 4-star rating from its district's overall performance.

What truly sets Frankfort apart is its exceptional academic achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Bear Lake High School, Benzie Academy, and Benzie Central Senior High School. In 11th-grade science, Frankfort students post a 69% proficiency rate—nearly double the state average of 35.2% and far ahead of Benzie Central's 32.7%. College readiness is equally impressive: 71% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to the state's 52.1%. The school also boasts an 87.5% graduation rate, well above the state average and dramatically higher than Bear Lake (69.5%) or Benzie Academy (50.0%). Chronic absenteeism sits at just 18%, less than half the rate at Benzie Central (44.6%), signaling strong student engagement.

Perhaps most remarkable is how Frankfort achieves these results while serving a student body where about half qualify for free or reduced lunch. Students from low socio-economic backgrounds have historically performed in the 90th percentile or higher statewide, showing the school effectively supports all learners. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1 and per-pupil spending of $23,209, the district invests heavily in student success. One area to watch: 7th-grade math proficiency dipped to 21.4% recently, below the state average, suggesting a focus area for building strong foundations before high school. Overall, Frankfort offers a supportive, high-achieving environment that stands out in the region.
