Summary

Plymouth High School is a large, highly-rated public high school in Canton, MI, serving 1,816 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district.

For parents, the headline is simple: this is one of the best high schools in Michigan. Plymouth High School is currently ranked 31st out of roughly 800 high schools statewide, placing it in the top 5%—a position it has held consistently for the past decade. Its academic results are striking. On the SAT, 77% of students are proficient in reading and writing, and 57% are proficient in math—both far above state averages (52% and 27%, respectively). In science and social studies M-Step tests, Plymouth students score at 60% and 71% proficiency, nearly double the state average. These numbers put Plymouth ahead of nearby Salem High School and Canton High School, and close behind the elite Northville High School. What makes this even more impressive is that Plymouth achieves these results while serving a more diverse student population, including a higher percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds (17%) than Northville (5%). The school ranks in the 92nd percentile for African American students and the 94th percentile for low-income students, showing strong outcomes across all groups.

There are a few nuances worth knowing. Plymouth's chronic absenteeism rate is 22.9%—higher than the district average of 19.3% and Northville's 16.6%—yet academic performance remains stellar, suggesting that when students are in class, instruction is highly effective. Also, while the school excels for most subgroups, English Language Learner performance dipped notably in the most recent year, an area to watch. Finally, Plymouth spends about $15,283 per student, slightly more than Salem and Canton but less than Churchill High School ($18,415), making it a highly cost-effective option. With a 94.9% graduation rate and ten straight years of top-5% rankings, Plymouth High School is a reliably excellent choice for families in the area.
