Summary

Stevenson High School in Livonia, MI, is a large, top-performing public high school serving 1,523 students in grades 8 through 12 within the Livonia Public Schools School District.

Stevenson is an academic standout, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. Its students significantly outperform state averages on the SAT, with 72% of 11th graders proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 45.6% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 52.1% and 26.5%. The school also boasts an exceptional 98.9% graduation rate and a dropout rate of just 0.2%, far better than the state's 84% and 7.1%. This success extends to specific student groups, with the school ranking in the 95th percentile for English Language Learners and the 91st percentile for Hispanic students. Notably, Stevenson achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,386) than nearby Farmington High School ($16,853) and its in-district rival Churchill High School ($18,415), demonstrating highly efficient resource use.

However, parents should be aware of a few challenges. Chronic absenteeism affects 24.6% of students, which is higher than the district average of 23.1% and has remained stubbornly high for four years. While the school serves many groups exceptionally well, its ranking for Special Education students (53rd percentile) is a relative weakness, and its ranking for Asian students (36th percentile) is surprisingly low given the school's overall performance. Additionally, while African American students still rank in the 82nd percentile, this represents a notable drop from the 94th and 95th percentile rankings of the previous two years. The contrast with neighboring districts is stark: Redford Union High School (17th percentile) and Clarenceville High School (28th percentile) lag far behind, highlighting the significant impact of district boundaries on educational opportunity.
