Summary

St Louis High School is a public high school serving 281 students in grades 9-12 in Saint Louis, Michigan, which is part of the St. Louis Public Schools district.

The school has shown a fluctuating academic performance, ranking as high as 78th out of 743 Michigan high schools in 2023-2024 with a 4-star rating, but as low as 464th out of 561 in 2020-2021 with a 1-star rating. Its performance among different student subgroups is also noteworthy, with female students ranking 50th out of 619 Michigan high schools (5-star rating) and Hispanic students ranking 58th out of 190 (3-star rating) in recent years. However, the school's four-year graduation rates have varied widely, from a low of 81.7% in 2022-2023 to a high of 95.7% in 2023-2024, and its chronic absenteeism rates have consistently been high, ranging from 29.1% to 33.0%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Shepherd High School, which is part of the same district, St Louis High School has underperformed in academic metrics like test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that the district's performance may be uneven, with some schools performing better than others. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced-lunch rates ranging from 51.09% to 68.84%, could be a contributing factor to its academic performance and other metrics, such as chronic absenteeism.
