Summary

Laingsburg High School is a small, rural public high school in Laingsburg, MI, serving 340 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Laingsburg Community Schools district, which has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide.

This school has been on a clear upward trajectory, recently breaking through to a 4-star rating after years of 3-star performance. Its standout strengths are in Social Studies and Science, where 11th graders significantly outperform state averages and nearby peers. For example, 62.9% of students are proficient in Social Studies, compared to just 39.5% at OvidElsie High School and 40.6% at Perry Secondary Campus Home to Perry Middle Perry High School. Science proficiency (42.7%) also outpaces Bath High School (30.6%) and Morrice Area High School (33.3%). Perhaps most impressive is the school's success with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who ranked in the 90th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a remarkable achievement. Graduation rates are consistently above 93%, often reaching 98%, with dropout rates frequently below 2%. The school also uses its resources efficiently, spending less per student ($13,929) than nearby districts like Ovid-Elsie Area Schools ($16,572) while achieving better results.

The main area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which reached 26.6% in 2024-2025—higher than Haslett High School (18.0%), Perry (17.2%), and Ovid-Elsie (16.8%). Interestingly, this doesn't seem to drag down academic outcomes, suggesting that when students are in class, learning is highly effective. Math performance is more moderate (29.2% proficient vs. 26.5% statewide), trailing top performers like Haslett (53.3%). Overall, Laingsburg offers a strong, efficient education with particular excellence in humanities and science, plus a proven track record of supporting all students—though improving attendance remains a clear opportunity for growth.
