Summary

Southgate Anderson High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Southgate, Michigan, with a student population of 986. The school is part of the Southgate Community School District, which is ranked 414 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southgate Anderson High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools over the past 10 years, with its SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 1 and 3 stars out of 5. The school performs relatively better for its African American and Hispanic student populations compared to the overall school performance, but struggles with its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with its strongest performance in social studies and weakest in mathematics.

Compared to nearby schools, Southgate Anderson High School's performance is generally lower than schools in the Allen Park Public Schools and Lincoln Park School District, but it outperforms the nearby Asher School, which is also part of the Southgate Community School District. The school's high percentage of low-income students, around 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools.
