Summary

Grand Ledge High School is a large public high school in Grand Ledge, MI, serving 1,704 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Grand Ledge Public Schools district, which ranks in the top 22% of districts statewide.

Academically, Grand Ledge consistently outperforms the state average in most subjects. For the 2025-2026 school year, 61.4% of students were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (state: 52.1%), and 28.1% were proficient in SAT Math (state: 26.5%). The school's graduation rate is a standout at 95.0%, well above the state average of 84.0%, and its dropout rate of 1.5% is dramatically lower than the state's 7.1%. The school also earns high marks for specific student groups, ranking in the 93rd percentile for African American students and the 88th percentile for English Language Learners. However, there are areas of concern: 11th-grade Social Studies proficiency (31.9%) falls below the state average (43.2%), and Science proficiency has steadily declined over four years, from 44.6% to 34.1%, now slightly below the state average. Special Education students rank in the 26th percentile, a notable drop from prior years.

Compared to nearby schools, Grand Ledge is highly efficient. It spends $11,665 per student—far less than DeWitt High School ($14,707), Potterville High School ($15,232), and JW Sexton High School ($24,562)—while achieving better outcomes than the higher-spending Waverly and Sexton schools. However, DeWitt remains the academic leader in the area, outperforming Grand Ledge in every subject test. One paradox: despite strong graduation rates, Grand Ledge's chronic absenteeism rate is 32.1%, higher than the state average (27.9%) and more than double DeWitt's rate of 13.5%. This suggests that while attending students perform well, a substantial portion of the student body is missing significant school time.
