Summary

Leslie High School is a mid-sized public high school in Leslie, MI, serving 322 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Leslie Public Schools district. The school’s biggest standout is its exceptional graduation rate of 96.4% for the 2024-2025 school year—more than 12 points above the state average and a full 10 points higher than its own district average. This is a consistent strength, with the school maintaining a rate above 88% for five straight years. Even more impressive, this high graduation rate persists despite a chronic absenteeism rate of 26.5%, which is close to the state average and higher than nearby Dansville High School (12.9%) and Eaton Rapids High School (16.7%). This suggests strong support systems that help seniors cross the finish line.

Academically, Leslie shows a clear strength in math. In the 2025-2026 school year, 34.4% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Mathematics—nearly 8 points above the state average and the highest rate among traditional high schools in the immediate area, surpassing Northwest High School and Eaton Rapids. However, the school’s overall state ranking has been volatile, swinging from a low of the 17th percentile in 2020-2021 to a peak of the 74th percentile in 2024-2025, before dropping to the 53rd percentile for 2025-2026. This pattern suggests results are heavily influenced by each incoming cohort. There’s also a notable gender gap: the school ranks in the 70th percentile for serving female students but only the 31st percentile for male students, indicating a significant disparity in academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Leslie spends more per student ($14,263) than Dansville ($12,249) and Eaton Rapids ($13,884), yet Dansville achieves a higher state ranking (76th percentile) with lower absenteeism, raising questions about cost-efficiency. The school’s demographic profile is also shifting, with free/reduced lunch eligibility dropping from 48.5% to 36.3% in just one year. For parents, Leslie High offers a strong graduation guarantee and solid math instruction, but the year-to-year ranking swings and gender gap are worth watching closely.
