Summary

Stoney Creek High School in Rochester Hills, MI, is a top-performing public school serving approximately 1,478 students in grades 6-12 within the highly-rated Rochester Community School District, which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.

Stoney Creek is an exceptional school by nearly any measure. Its graduation rate of 98.8% far exceeds the state average of 84%, and its dropout rate is a mere 0.5%. The school is particularly adept at supporting English Language Learners, ranking 3rd in the state for their performance. It also achieves strong results across all student groups, showing that its success is systemic. While its sibling school, Rochester Adams High School, holds a slightly higher overall state ranking, Stoney Creek serves nearly twice the percentage of economically disadvantaged students and still achieves near-parity in reading and writing scores. This makes its performance especially noteworthy. The school also showed dramatic improvement in serving special education students, jumping from the 64th to the 90th percentile in just two years.

Despite these strengths, there are areas for parents to watch. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 23.5%, which is higher than the district average of 18.5%. Science proficiency scores have also been volatile, swinging by as much as 22 percentage points in recent years, suggesting possible inconsistency in instruction or testing. Additionally, while the school excels overall, there remains an achievement gap for its low-income students, who perform well statewide but still trail the school's general population. For context, nearby Utica Community Schools serve a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and show dramatically lower proficiency rates, highlighting the educational advantage Stoney Creek provides. The district's commitment to all learners is also evident through John M Schultz Educational Campus, an alternative school that serves students needing additional support, ensuring Stoney Creek's impressive metrics are not inflated by pushing struggling students out.

Open Quote The school only cares about numbers (test scores & money) thats it nothing more nothing less. There is no attention to the students and anyone that isnt the perfect student is almost instantaneously pushed off in to the alternative education program or ACE Close Quote
