Summary

Mattawan High School in Mattawan, MI, is a large public high school serving 1,126 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the highly-rated Mattawan Consolidated School district, which ranks in the top 7% of districts statewide.

Mattawan High School stands out as a regional academic leader, consistently ranking in the top 90th percentile of Michigan high schools over the past decade. Its academic performance is particularly strong in English Language Arts and Science. On the 2025-2026 SAT, 71.5% of 11th graders were proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to just 46.3% at nearby Paw Paw High School and 51.6% at Lawton High School. The gap is even wider in math, where Mattawan's 38.1% proficiency rate nearly doubles Paw Paw's 21.6% and Lawton's 17.7%. Even when compared to the larger Portage Northern High School, Mattawan outperforms in both reading and math. The school also boasts an exceptional 93.7% graduation rate, well above the state average of 84.0%, and a dropout rate of just 1.7% compared to the state's 7.1%.

While the school's overall performance is excellent, there are a few important nuances for parents to consider. Despite its high graduation rate, Mattawan has a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.7%, which is notably higher than the state average of 27.9% and its own district average of 22.0%. This suggests that while students who attend regularly perform exceptionally well, a significant portion of the student body is missing substantial school days. On a positive note, the school demonstrates a "pocket of excellence" with its Hispanic students, who rank in the 87th percentile statewide—even higher than the school's overall ranking. However, performance with Special Education students (66th percentile) and Multi-racial students (57th percentile) lags behind the school's overall high standing, indicating these groups may benefit from additional support. Overall, Mattawan High School is a premier traditional high school option in the area, offering strong academics and a supportive path to graduation for most students.
