Mount Clemens High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Mount Clemens High School is a public high school serving 203 students in grades 9-12 in Mount Clemens, Michigan, which is part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 70.94% African American, much higher than nearby schools, and a concerning combination of low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism.

Academically, Mount Clemens High School students perform well below state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from just 6.25% to 26.9% across various subject areas. This is in stark contrast to nearby high-performing schools like International Academy of Macomb, which have proficiency rates ranging from 19.6% to 83%. Additionally, Mount Clemens High School has a very high percentage of students (89.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The combination of these factors suggests that Mount Clemens High School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, as well as the stark disparities in academic performance, will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders. Targeted interventions and resources to support the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged student population may also be necessary to help improve student outcomes.
