Summary

Midland High School is a public high school in Midland, Michigan, serving 1,134 students in grades 9-12. The school has a strong academic reputation, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state over the past decade and outperforming the state average in standardized test scores, graduation rates, and subgroup performance.

Midland High School's academic excellence is evident in its high proficiency rates on state assessments, with 69.7% of 11th-grade students demonstrating proficiency or better in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to the state average of 55.4%. The school also maintains a relatively low dropout rate, ranging from 3.1% to 8.1% in recent years.
