Summary

Oakridge High School in Muskegon, MI, serves 539 students in grades 9-12 within the Oakridge Public Schools district, a district currently rated 1-star statewide.

Oakridge has experienced a notable decline in its most recent state ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating (55th percentile) in prior years to a 2-star rating (38th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This drop is reflected across most student groups, suggesting a school-wide trend rather than an issue affecting only certain students. The school's graduation rate has also been volatile, falling from over 91% for four consecutive years to 79.0% in 2024-2025—a rate below the state average of 84.0% and far below nearby Reeths-Puffer High School's exceptional 98.1%. Oakridge's dropout rate of 11.6% is also higher than the state average, though it remains lower than Muskegon High School's rate. Chronic absenteeism at 29.4% is slightly above the state average but dramatically better than Muskegon city schools, where rates range from 50% to over 90%.

Academically, Oakridge shows a clear split. In the 2024-2025 school year, students excelled in Science (44.1% proficient) and Social Studies (52.7% proficient), outperforming state averages. However, those scores fell sharply in the most recent data (31.7% and 37.9%, respectively). Mathematics proficiency on the SAT has remained persistently low, hovering between 11% and 15% over four years. In reading, Oakridge's 11th-grade proficiency (36.2%) outpaces Muskegon High (20.5%) but trails Reeths-Puffer. One bright spot: Oakridge earned a 4-star rating for its Hispanic students in 2024-2025, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide. With over half of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Oakridge sits as a middle-ground option—stronger than Muskegon city schools but facing recent challenges compared to its suburban neighbor, Reeths-Puffer.

Oakridge high school is by far one of the worst schools i've delt with unless your kid is really into sports I recommend don't send your kid here. The students are treated like robots. Every thing is policy policy policy read the hand book. There is no personal touch here. my child has been bullied by staff and students they can't punish kids for hurting your feelings so they say my child was also suspended for being to sick to go to saturday school. There is no special treatment here no matter what the circumstance they just throw their policies up in your face. this school could improve by treating students like individual people instead of robots. the only positive thing about this school is your children are physically safe but mentally they are definately not. I tried to discuss my childs problems with staff to make them aware of her condition and had a positive outlook that this year would be better but as to my surprise it didn't really change anything cause they are stuck on policy is the best and do not look out for the best interest of your child as a human being only as a robot Close Quote
