Summary

Hamtramck High School is a large, urban public high school in Hamtramck, MI, serving 926 students in grades 9-12 within the Hamtramck School District of the City of, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Hamtramck High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, its graduation rate is a genuine bright spot—at 80.9% for the 2024-2025 school year, it sits close to the state average of 84.0% and has often met or exceeded state averages in recent years. This means the school is successful at guiding most students to a diploma. However, academic proficiency on state tests tells a different story. SAT math proficiency is just 10.2% (vs. 26.5% statewide), and scores in all subjects consistently fall well below state averages. The school's state ranking has fluctuated, landing in the 13th percentile for 2025-2026, placing it in the bottom tier of Michigan high schools. This combination of decent graduation rates but low test scores suggests the school may prioritize moving students through to graduation over deep academic mastery, which could mean many graduates need remediation before college.

The most urgent concern is a sharp spike in disengagement. For 2024-2025, the dropout rate more than doubled to 16.9% (state: 7.1%), and chronic absenteeism jumped to 47.3%—nearly 20 points above the state average. This is a leading indicator that the school's stable graduation rate may be at risk in coming years. Compared to nearby options, Hamtramck is the stronger choice within its own district, outperforming Horizon High School on attendance and reading proficiency. However, Oakland International Academy 912, a charter just 0.62 miles away, outperforms Hamtramck in nearly every metric—higher graduation (87.9%), far lower dropout (2.5%), and much lower chronic absenteeism (19.0%). Families seeking a school with stronger engagement and academic outcomes may find that charter a compelling alternative.
