Summary

New Haven High School is a small public high school in New Haven, MI, serving 314 students in grades 9-12 within the New Haven Community Schools district. The school has shown a strong upward trend recently, climbing from a 1-star rating to a 3-star rating and now ranking in the 62nd percentile statewide—a notable turnaround after a dip in performance during the 2020-2022 school years.

One of the school's standout strengths is its 11th-grade Social Studies performance, where 57.4% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 43.2% and higher than nearby Dakota High School (46.2%) and Anchor Bay High School (38.7%). The school also excels in early high school English Language Arts, with 66.3% of 9th graders and 61.5% of 10th graders proficient. However, math remains a significant challenge: only 14.7% of 11th graders are proficient on the SAT, far below the state average of 26.5%. Additionally, there is a notable gender gap, with female students' performance having been volatile—dropping to the 23rd percentile in 2024-2025 before recovering to the 55th percentile in 2025-2026—while male students have consistently ranked in the high 60s percentile.

New Haven invests heavily in its students, spending $17,309 per pupil—the highest among nearby schools—and maintaining a favorable 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio, compared to Dakota's 21.6:1. The graduation rate is strong at 93.4%, exceeding the state average. The school serves a more economically diverse population (51.6% free/reduced lunch) than neighbors like Richmond Community High School (26.3%) or Anchor Bay (20.3%). While chronic absenteeism (30.9%) is a concern, the school's recent progress and targeted resources suggest it is addressing challenges head-on. For parents, this is a school with clear strengths in social studies and early literacy, a commitment to individualized attention, and a trajectory pointing upward—though math support and consistency for all students remain key areas to watch.
