Summary

Lake Fenton High School in Linden, MI, serves 646 students in grades 8 through 12 and is part of the highly rated Lake Fenton Community Schools district, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide.

This is a school on a remarkable upward trajectory. Just five years ago, Lake Fenton ranked in the 48th percentile with a 2-star rating; today, it sits in the 88th percentile with a 4-star rating—a 40-percentile-point jump that reflects sustained, successful efforts to boost academics. The results speak for themselves: 54.7% of 11th graders are proficient in science (state average: 35.2%), and 61.9% are proficient in social studies (state average: 43.2%). On the SAT, 58.3% met the reading and writing benchmark and 36% met the math benchmark, both well above state averages and on par with or better than nearby Fenton Senior High School and Linden High School. The school's 96.5% graduation rate is also outstanding, far exceeding the state's 84.0% average.

What truly sets Lake Fenton apart, however, is its exceptional support for students who often face greater challenges. The school ranks 15th out of 220 schools statewide for special education students and 62nd out of 719 for low-income students—both earning 5-star ratings. This level of success for all learners is a differentiator from many neighboring schools. One area to watch is chronic absenteeism: at 20.5%, it's higher than the district average (15.3%) and nearby Linden High School (12.6%), though still below the state average. Given that attending students perform so well, reducing missed instructional time could push this already strong school even higher.
