Summary

Grant High School is a mid-sized public high school in Grant, Michigan, serving 457 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Grant Public School District. The school has shown a strong upward trend in state rankings over the past decade, currently sitting in the top 60% of Michigan high schools, with about 58% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive thing about Grant High School is its ability to keep students on track to graduate. With a graduation rate of 95.7%—well above the state average of 84.0%—and a dropout rate of just 1.7%, the school clearly prioritizes student retention. This success extends to students who often face extra challenges: the school ranks in the 78th percentile statewide for both low-income students and special education students, earning 4-star ratings in both categories for three consecutive years. Academically, the school shines in social studies, where 51.9% of 11th graders are proficient compared to the state average of 43.2%, and it also outperforms the state in reading and writing. However, math is a significant weakness—only 15.1% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT math, nearly half the state average of 26.5%. Science scores have also dropped sharply in recent years, falling from 52.5% proficiency in 2023-2024 to just 27.4% in 2025-2026.

Compared to nearby schools, Grant presents a mixed picture. It outperforms White Cloud High School across nearly every metric, including a 16.6 percentage point higher graduation rate, and beats Newaygo High School in reading and social studies. However, it lags behind Fremont High School, which has lower chronic absenteeism (16.7% vs. Grant's 32.8%) and superior test scores in both science and math. Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern at Grant, affecting nearly one-third of students, even as graduation rates remain high—suggesting that while attending students thrive, a significant portion of the student body may be disengaged.
