Summary

Grosse Pointe North High School serves approximately 924 students in grades 9-12 in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI, a suburban community within the highly regarded Grosse Pointe Public Schools district, which ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

Grosse Pointe North is a solid, above-average school that significantly outperforms most nearby schools outside its district. For example, its 65.2% proficiency rate in SAT Reading/Writing is more than triple the rate at nearby Harper Woods High School and South Lake High School, and its math scores are roughly four to five times higher than those at Denby High School or Chandler Park Academy High School. However, within its own district, North is the lower-performing "sister school" to Grosse Pointe South High School, which ranks in the top 1% statewide. The gap is most striking in math, where South's proficiency (64.4%) is nearly double North's (33.3%). North serves a more economically diverse student body—about 25% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch versus just 9% at South—which helps explain some of this disparity.

Parents should be aware of a few recent trends. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent challenge at 27.4%, nearly double the rate at South and well above the district average. The school also saw a sudden drop in its graduation rate, falling from roughly 95% to 88% in the 2024-2025 school year. Test scores have declined modestly over the past few years, though the school remains strong with certain groups—it earns 5-star ratings for its White students and has shown remarkable recent improvement with its African American students, jumping from the 64th to the 85th percentile statewide in just two years. With a favorable 15.3:1 student-to-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $20,003, the school has solid resources, but families may want to ask about supports for attendance and the recent graduation rate shift.
