Summary

Marysville High School is a public high school in Marysville, MI, serving 806 students in grades 9-12 within the Marysville Public Schools district, located along the St. Clair River. The school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide (183rd out of 800 schools) — a level of performance it has maintained for the past decade. Its graduation rate of 93.7% far exceeds the state average of 84.0%, and its dropout rate of just 1.5% is remarkably low compared to the state's 7.1%.

When compared to nearby traditional public high schools, Marysville stands out as the clear academic leader in the Blue Water Area. On the 11th-grade SAT, 62.4% of Marysville students are proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 56.6% at Port Huron Northern High School and 43.4% at Port Huron High School. The gap is even wider in math, where Marysville's 29.9% proficiency rate outpaces Port Huron Northern (21.7%) and Port Huron High (19.6%). In 11th-grade science, Marysville students achieve a 41.2% proficiency rate, well above the state average of 35.2% and far exceeding St Clair High School (31.5%) and Port Huron High (16.3%). Marysville also has a substantially lower chronic absenteeism rate (20.3%) than Port Huron Northern (31.9%) or Port Huron High (42.2%).

What makes Marysville particularly noteworthy is its consistency and equity. Students across all subgroups — female, male, and low socio-economic status — perform at similar high levels, with the school's ranking for economically disadvantaged students climbing from the 55th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026. Notably, Marysville achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,469) than Port Huron High ($16,109) and with a higher student-teacher ratio (23.6 vs. 18.3), suggesting that school culture and curriculum effectiveness drive its success. The only nearby school to outperform Marysville is the Blue Water Middle College Academy, a selective early-college program with just 205 students — a comparison that isn't apples-to-apples given Marysville educates a comprehensive, non-selective student body of over 800.
