Summary

Midland High School is a large public high school in Midland, MI, serving 1,129 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly rated Midland Public Schools district.

Midland High is a strong academic school that consistently ranks in the top 15% of Michigan high schools, and it stands out for how well it serves its students. Over 40% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch—a much higher rate than its in-district counterpart, HH Dow High School (24.8%)—yet Midland High ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for the academic performance of its low-income students. This is a remarkable achievement and shows the school is highly effective at helping students succeed regardless of economic background. The school also boasts a strong graduation rate of 92.3%, well above the state average, and a dropout rate that is less than half the state average. In comparison to nearby schools, Midland High outperforms Meridian Early College High School and Bay City Western High School by a wide margin, and holds its own against Bullock Creek High School and Freeland Middle SchoolHigh School, despite serving a more economically diverse student body.

While the school excels in English Language Arts and Social Studies, mathematics is a relative area of weakness. Only 45.5% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Math, compared to 57% at HH Dow, and this gap is consistent across grade levels. Chronic absenteeism (22.9%) is also higher than the district average, though still better than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance with Special Education students (45th percentile) is a clear outlier compared to its overall ranking, and this has been declining in recent years. On a more positive note, the school has demonstrated an ability to achieve excellence with diverse groups—Hispanic students ranked #1 in the entire state in 2023-2024—and its recent dip in overall rankings (from the 97th percentile in 2015-2016 to the mid-80s today) appears to be a school-wide trend rather than an issue tied to any single group of students.
