Summary

High School in Harrison Township, MI, is a large public high school serving 1,172 students in grades 9-12 as part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district.

The most striking thing about this school is its "graduation vs. absenteeism" paradox. On one hand, the school boasts an exceptional 93.5% graduation rate—well above the state average of 84%—and a dropout rate of just 2.4%, which is less than half the state's rate. This means nearly all students who enroll end up earning a diploma. On the other hand, a staggering 41.8% of students are chronically absent, meaning they miss significant amounts of school. This rate is far higher than the district average (28.7%) and has been climbing steadily over the past few years. It's a counterintuitive picture: a school that graduates almost everyone, yet struggles to get students in the door on a regular basis. This suggests the school may have strong credit recovery programs that help students catch up, even if they aren't consistently present.

Academically, the school performs in the mid-range statewide, ranking around the 57th percentile. However, there are notable differences in how it serves different groups. The school is particularly effective for its male students (55th percentile) and shows relative strength with its African American students (66th percentile), but it struggles significantly with its Special Education population, which ranked in the bottom 5th percentile in a recent year. When compared to nearby schools, High School North—the other comprehensive high school in the same district—is the stronger academic institution, ranking in the 73rd percentile with much higher SAT proficiency rates (e.g., 40.4% vs. 22% in math). However, High School vastly outperforms Clintondale High School (11th percentile) and Mount Clemens High School (18th percentile) in nearly every academic measure. For parents, this school offers a guaranteed path to graduation, but the high absenteeism rate and uneven academic support—especially for special education students—are important factors to consider.

My children do good in school, mostly A's and B's. But feel the teachers put notes up on the board and expect them too study on there own. I like the school but think they need to take more time watching HOW the teachers teach. I spend a lot of the time reteaching my children. Close Quote
