Summary

Fruitport High School is a public high school in Fruitport, MI, serving 812 students in grades 9-12 as part of Fruitport Community Schools.

If you're looking at Fruitport High School, the most encouraging news is its remarkable success at keeping students on track to graduate. The school boasts a 93.5% graduation rate—significantly higher than the state average of 84% and a full 10 points above its own district's rate. Its dropout rate of just 2.4% is similarly impressive. This isn't a fluke; graduation rates have stayed above 92% for five straight years. The school has also made dramatic strides in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from a staggering 72.2% during the pandemic-impacted 2020-21 year down to just 19.4%—now better than the state average. Academically, students shine in Social Studies, with 55.1% of 11th graders proficient on the M-Step, well above the state's 43.2%. While math and science scores trail state averages, the school's overall trajectory is upward, improving from a 2-star to a consistent 3-star rating over the past three years.

What truly sets Fruitport apart is its effectiveness with students facing economic challenges. With over 40% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school earned a 4-star rating for this subgroup, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide. This is a meaningful achievement that suggests the school is closing opportunity gaps. For context, nearby Spring Lake High School (just 4.7 miles away) is a 5-star school with higher test scores, but it serves a much wealthier population (only 16.6% economically disadvantaged). Despite that gap, Fruitport's graduation rate of 93.5% comes remarkably close to Spring Lake's perfect 100%, and its absenteeism rate is only slightly higher. Compared to struggling urban schools in nearby Muskegon—where chronic absenteeism exceeds 80%—Fruitport is clearly a strong, supportive option that gets results for a diverse range of students.
