Summary

Ravenna High School is a small, rural public high school in Ravenna, MI, serving 317 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Ravenna Public Schools district.

Ravenna High School’s biggest strength is getting students to graduation. The school’s graduation rate hit 93.5% in 2024-2025, nearly 10 points above the state average and comparable to nearby Grant High School (95.7%) and Coopersville High School (97.4%). Students also perform well in Science and Social Studies on state tests, beating state averages in both subjects. However, the school faces a significant challenge with attendance: 28.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, well above the rate at nearby Coopersville (14.8%) and Fruitport (19.4%). This creates an interesting paradox—many students miss school regularly, yet those who attend are supported well enough to graduate at high rates.

Math is a clear area of concern. Only 21.4% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT math section, and just 14.8% of 9th graders met the PSAT math benchmark—far below the state average of 33.5%. This suggests a foundational math gap that persists through high school. Another emerging issue is a significant gender achievement gap. The school ranks in the 53rd percentile for female students but only the 27th percentile for male students, a 26-point difference that has grown sharply in recent years. While Ravenna’s overall rating has improved from 1 star to 2 stars recently, and its dropout rate (5.1%) is better than the state average, parents should be aware that the school’s experience can vary widely depending on a student’s gender and math readiness. For families considering nearby options, Coopersville High School offers stronger overall test scores and attendance, while Grant High School has a slightly higher graduation rate and lower dropout rate.

Open Quote I have six younger siblings in this school. The oldest has had a hard time with bullying all throughout school. It's her senior year and now a group of girls has been bullying her and saying they're going to beat her up!? 😡 Mr. Anderson is the principal. He hasn't taken this bullying seriously. It's gotten so out of hand, my parents are considering taken her out and putting her in coopersville. My other sister is in eighth grade, and she's been getting bullied by her classmates also. She's half black, and she's been called the N-word multiple times. Also she's been cyber bullied by girls who she thought were her friends. Again, the principal was informed. What was done? A detention. Not good enough. So my parents are so fed up with this school district that they're pulling all six kids out to attend another school. I have never experienced so much bullying in a school like it is in Ravenna. Close Quote
