Summary

Mendon MiddleHigh School is a small, rural public school in Mendon, MI, serving 254 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Mendon Community School District.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that Mendon's academic performance has been inconsistent and is currently below state averages in most subjects. In the most recent testing, only 20% of 6th graders and 25% of 7th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to state averages of roughly 38%. The gap widens in Social Studies, where just 21% of 11th graders are proficient versus the state's 43%. A notable exception is 8th-grade science, where proficiency (37.9%) nearly matches the state average (39.2%). When compared to similar nearby schools, Mendon trails Athens JuniorSenor High School, which serves a similar number of students (256) and grade range but ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide versus Mendon's 31st. Athens also has a significantly lower dropout rate (2.4% vs. 10.8%) despite having a higher percentage of low-income students. Even more concerning, Mendon's dropout rate has spiked to 10.8%—more than double the state average of 7.1%—and chronic absenteeism has risen from 14.1% to 22.1% in just one year.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Historically, Mendon has shown it can achieve excellent outcomes for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this group in 2022-2023. Additionally, female students at the school were ranked in the 73rd percentile in 2024-2025, while male students ranked in the 14th percentile—a stark gap that suggests the school may need to examine how it supports different groups of learners. The school also spends more per student ($15,253) than higher-performing nearby schools like Portage Central High School ($13,565) and Schoolcraft High School ($13,928), indicating that resources alone aren't the issue. Given the volatility in year-to-year results—state rankings have swung from the 83rd percentile to the 10th and back—parents should look beyond single-year data and consider the school's overall trajectory, particularly its rising dropout rate and absenteeism, when making decisions.
