Summary

Plymouth High School is a public high school located in Canton, Michigan, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 1,911 students. It is part of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district, which is ranked 90 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Plymouth High School has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Michigan, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in M-Step/Science, M-Step/Social Studies, SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics. Salem High School and Canton High School, other high schools in the district, do not match Plymouth High School's academic performance. Additionally, Plymouth High School maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.7% and a low dropout rate of 0.8%, both significantly better than state averages.

Despite having a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Plymouth High School has been able to maintain strong academic performance across different socioeconomic groups. The school's consistent ranking among the top high schools in Michigan and its ability to outperform the state and district averages in key metrics make it a standout educational institution in the region. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, while still lower than the state average, is a concern that the school and district should address to ensure continued student success.
