Summary

St Johns High School is a large public high school in Saint Johns, MI, serving 790 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated St. Johns Public Schools district.

This school stands out for its exceptional student engagement and outcomes. The graduation rate is an impressive 96.8%, far above the state average of 84.0%, while the dropout rate sits at just 2.0%. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 16.3%—nearly half the state average of 27.9%—which points to a strong, supportive school culture where students want to be. Academically, St Johns consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts and Science. For example, 63.6% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 52.1% statewide. The school also earns high marks for its work with Special Education students, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide—a notable achievement that reflects effective support systems for all learners. One area to watch is math, where proficiency (26.6%) sits right at the state average but trails top-performing neighbors like DeWitt High School (56%).

In the local landscape, St Johns is part of a tight cluster with Laingsburg High School and Bath High School, all earning similar overall rankings and comparable test scores. DeWitt High School is the clear academic leader in the region, with a 5-star rating and top scores in nearly every subject. St Johns spends $15,161 per student—more than Laingsburg ($13,929) or Bath ($12,665)—which may reflect investments in areas beyond standardized testing, such as arts, athletics, or additional student supports. While the school has seen a slight dip from the 81st to 77th percentile in recent years, it remains a solidly 4-star institution with a strong foundation and a clear commitment to helping students succeed.
