Summary

Lapeer High School is a large public high school in Lapeer, MI, serving 1,006 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Lapeer Community Schools district.

The most striking thing about Lapeer High School is the contrast between its graduation rate and its test scores. The school graduates 94.5% of its students, well above the state average of 84%, and its dropout rate of 1.5% is remarkably low. This tells parents that the school is very effective at keeping students on track and supporting them through to graduation. However, academic proficiency on state assessments is generally below state averages. For example, only 22.5% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Math compared to 26.5% statewide, and SAT Reading/Writing proficiency sits at 50.9% versus 65.6% at nearby Oxford High School. The school also has a high student-to-teacher ratio of 24.2:1, the highest among its local competitors, yet spends more per student ($15,004) than North Branch High School ($11,932) or Goodrich High School ($13,354).

There are a few areas of concern that parents should be aware of. Science proficiency has dropped dramatically, from 53.2% in 2022-2023 to 34.6% now, falling below the state average. The school also ranks in the bottom 20th percentile for both Special Education and Hispanic students, a persistent challenge over the past three years. Additionally, outcomes for male students have declined sharply, with the school's ranking for boys dropping from the 67th percentile to the 39th percentile in just two years. Chronic absenteeism affects about one in five students, though this is better than the state average. While the school's graduation success is commendable, parents of students in these specific groups may want to ask how the school plans to address these achievement gaps.
