Summary

Litchfield High School is a small, rural public school in Litchfield, MI, serving 143 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Litchfield Community Schools district, where over 72% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Parents should know that Litchfield High School is currently facing significant challenges, with its state ranking falling sharply to the 19th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year after a brief period of improvement. The graduation rate has dropped dramatically from 80.9% in 2021-2022 to just 59.0% for the 2024-2025 school year—a staggering 25 points below the state average of 84.0%. The dropout rate of 22.7% is more than triple the state average and the highest among all nearby schools. Academic proficiency on state assessments is also well below state averages; for example, only 23.5% of 11th graders were proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT, compared to 52.1% statewide. The school's performance with its White students ranks in the bottom 4% of the state, and its support for students from low-income backgrounds ranks in the bottom 8%.

What makes this situation particularly concerning is the contrast with neighboring districts. Quincy High School, just 9.58 miles away, boasts a 91.0% graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate. Even North Adams-Jerome MiddleHigh School, which serves a similar percentage of low-income students (61.96%), achieves a 97.1% graduation rate. Litchfield spends a relatively high $15,316 per student—comparable to higher-performing schools like HanoverHorton High School—yet this investment isn't translating into positive outcomes. The student-teacher ratio has also risen from 15.2 to 21 over the past two years, suggesting possible resource strain. Chronic absenteeism at 25.6% remains a contributing factor to the low achievement and high dropout rates, indicating that significant, targeted interventions are urgently needed to reverse this recent and rapid decline.
