Summary

HH Dow High School in Midland, MI, is a large public high school serving 1,272 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly rated Midland Public Schools district. This school is a consistent academic powerhouse, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade and ranking in the top 10% of all high schools in Michigan. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked 32nd out of 800 high schools statewide (96th percentile), far outpacing its district counterpart, Midland High School (ranked 93rd), and all other nearby schools.

What truly sets HH Dow apart is its exceptional performance in mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, 57% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Math—more than double the state average of 26.5% and over 11 points higher than Midland High's 45.5%. This trend holds across all grade levels, suggesting a robust math curriculum from day one. The school also demonstrates remarkable effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a significant improvement from just two years prior. Additionally, HH Dow's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.6% is well below the state average of 27.9%, indicating a strong culture of attendance and engagement.

However, there are a few areas of concern. The graduation rate has dipped from a peak of 93.9% in 2021-2022 to 89.4% in 2024-2025, now lower than several nearby schools like Hemlock High School (92.6%) and Freeland Middle School High School (97.7%). Support for Special Education students has also seen a sharp decline, dropping from the 70th percentile to the 48th percentile in recent years. Notably, HH Dow spends less per student ($13,547) than several lower-performing schools in the area, proving that its success stems from effective teaching and school culture rather than budget size.
