Summary

Romeo High School in Washington, MI, is a large public high school serving 1,817 students in grades 9-12 within the Romeo Community Schools district, which ranks in the 80th percentile statewide. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 88th percentile of Michigan high schools for 2025-2026, a significant climb from its 3-star rating and 66th percentile ranking just a few years earlier.

Romeo High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 96.8% and a low dropout rate of 2.2%, both far better than state averages. Its 11th-grade students achieve strong proficiency in Science (49.3%) and Social Studies (54.3%), outperforming larger nearby schools like Dakota High School and Utica High School. The school also demonstrates notable effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 83rd percentile for this subgroup despite having a higher free/reduced lunch rate (18.71%) than top performers like Stoney Creek High School. Additionally, Romeo operates efficiently, spending $15,500 per student—less than Armada High School ($18,564)—while achieving better academic outcomes.

While Romeo is surrounded by elite schools in the Rochester Community School District, it is rapidly closing the gap. Its PSAT scores for 9th and 10th graders are particularly strong, with 75.4% and 70.4% proficiency in English Language Arts, respectively—well above state averages. However, the school faces challenges: a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5% (higher than Eisenhower High School at 11.8%) and lower performance among certain student subgroups, including Hispanic students (42nd percentile) and Special Education students (43rd percentile). These areas represent opportunities for targeted support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
