Summary

Mount Clemens High School is a small public high school in Mount Clemens, MI, serving 239 students in grades 9-12 within the Mount Clemens Community School District.

Mount Clemens High School serves a student body where nearly 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate more than double that of nearby traditional high schools like Chippewa Valley High School (36%) or High School in L'Anse Creuse (36%). Academic proficiency rates are significantly lower than those neighboring schools—for example, only 22% of 11th graders were proficient in reading on the SAT, compared to 48-60% at surrounding schools, and math proficiency is in the single digits. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 70%, well below the state average of 84%, and the dropout rate of 14% is nearly double the state rate. Chronic absenteeism, while improving dramatically from 86% a few years ago, still affects 55% of students—about double the state average.

There are encouraging signs of progress. The school's overall state ranking has improved from the 8th percentile to the 18th percentile in recent years, and graduation rates have climbed from 54% to 70% over the same period. The school also shows relative strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 38th percentile for that group. The school spends a substantial $18,931 per student—more than larger neighboring schools—reflecting the high level of resources dedicated to addressing significant student needs. For context, the school's metrics more closely resemble those of alternative schools like DiAnne M Pellerin Center than traditional comprehensive high schools, and it stands in stark contrast to the highly selective International Academy of Macomb nearby, which serves a very different student population.
