Summary

Lee High School in Wyoming, MI, is a public high school serving 537 students in grades 9-12 within the Godfrey-Lee Public Schools district, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most striking thing about Lee High School is its graduation rate. For the 2024-2025 school year, 89.7% of students graduated—well above the district average of 78% and the state average of 84%. This isn't a fluke; the school has stayed above 89% for five straight years. That's a remarkable achievement given that the student body faces significant economic challenges. The school also shows real strengths with specific groups: it ranks in the 64th percentile statewide for White students and in the 50th percentile for English Language Learners, both earning 3-star ratings. Additionally, math proficiency more than doubled from 6.3% to 16.1% in just one year, suggesting recent teaching interventions are working. The school spends $16,784 per student, which is higher than nearby Wyoming High School ($14,511) and comparable to Godwin Heights Senior High School ($16,578).

However, there's a clear gap between graduating students and preparing them academically. While nearly 9 in 10 students earn a diploma, only 16.1% are proficient in math and 38.4% in reading on the SAT. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent problem at 32.5%, though that's actually better than nearby Wyoming High School (52.3%) and Grand Rapids Public Museum High (41.4%). Compared to its district's alternative school, East Lee Campus (39% graduation rate), Lee High is performing exceptionally well. The bottom line: Lee High School is clearly effective at getting students across the graduation stage, but the next challenge is making sure that diploma reflects true college and career readiness.
