Summary

Harbor High School is a public high school located in White Lake, Michigan, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 142 students. It is part of the Huron Valley Schools district, which is ranked 162 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's overall performance, Harbor High School consistently underperforms compared to its peers. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 63.3% for the Huron Valley Schools district and 55.4% for the state. The school also has lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates, as well as significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Harbor High School's per-student spending has increased over the years, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Interestingly, while Harbor High School faces these challenges, its special education students performed exceptionally well, ranking 12 out of 116 Michigan high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. In contrast, the nearby Milford High School and Lakeland High School, which are also part of the Huron Valley district, significantly outperform Harbor High School in academic assessments, graduation rates, and other key metrics.
