Summary

Ida High School in Ida, MI, serves approximately 451 students in grades 9-12 within the Ida Public School District, a district ranked in the 84th percentile statewide. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating for a decade, and its most standout feature is an exceptional graduation rate of 97.8%—far above the state average of 84.0%—with a dropout rate that has hovered near zero for five straight years. The student body is relatively affluent, with just 15.08% qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and the school operates efficiently, spending $12,167 per student, which is nearly $2,000 less than the regional average.

Academically, Ida shines brightest in science, where 56.8% of 11th graders were proficient on the M-Step in 2024-2025, outpacing the state average by nearly 22 percentage points. However, math tells a different story: only 22% of 11th graders were proficient on the SAT, below the state average of 26.5% and well behind nearby Whiteford High School (32.8%) and Summerfield Junior/Senior High School (39.5%). Interestingly, Ida's 9th and 10th graders score above state averages on PSAT math, suggesting proficiency declines as students advance. Chronic absenteeism sits at 15.3%, better than the state's 27.9% but higher than Bedford Senior High School's impressive 7.5%.

Recent data reveals emerging challenges. While Ida historically ranked in the 76th-82nd percentile statewide, it slipped to the 73rd percentile in 2025-2026. This coincides with a sharp decline in male student performance (dropping 33 percentile points over two years) and a significant fall for low-income students (from the 79th to 41st percentile). Meanwhile, Whiteford High School, just 12 miles away, now outranks Ida in reading, math, and science—though Whiteford spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio. Despite these trends, Ida remains a cost-effective success story, achieving better outcomes than Monroe High School while spending $2,932 less per student. The school's long-term stability suggests it has the foundation to address these subgroup gaps with targeted support.
