Summary

Jenison High School consistently performs well academically, ranking among the top high schools in Michigan. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 47th out of 739 Michigan high schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This performance is reflected in the school's strong test scores, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, M-Step/Social Studies, SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics compared to the state and district averages. Jenison High School also has impressive graduation rates, with a four-year graduation rate of 97.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The school's dropout rate is also low, at 1.0% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of student retention and success.

While Jenison High School performs well across various student subgroups, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is relatively high compared to the state average, indicating a need for further improvement in student attendance. Jenison High School outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Allendale High School and Union High School, in academic metrics, graduation rates, and student group performance. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (25.92% in 2023-2024) suggests a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby schools.
