Summary

St Louis High School is a small public high school in Saint Louis, MI, serving 244 students in grades 9-12 as part of the St. Louis Public Schools district, where nearly 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive thing about St Louis High School is its ability to keep students on track to graduate. The school boasts a 98% graduation rate and just a 2% dropout rate—far better than the state averages of 84% and 7.1%, respectively. This is the highest graduation rate among nearby traditional high schools, edging out Ithaca High School (96.9%) and Shepherd High School (93.3%). However, the school's academic performance tells a different story. After ranking in the 90th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, the school has dropped to the 42nd percentile. Proficiency rates now fall below state averages in most subjects, with SAT Math proficiency at just 11.5% compared to the state's 26.5%. This disconnect between high graduation rates and lower test scores is worth understanding—especially since chronic absenteeism affects 27.8% of students, which may be a contributing factor.

Interestingly, the school's closest neighbor, Alma Senior High School (just 2.8 miles away), serves a similar student population but has been improving—moving from the 36th to 56th percentile recently. This suggests St Louis's decline isn't a regional trend but something specific to the school. One bright spot: Hispanic students at St Louis rank in the 69th percentile statewide, outperforming their peers. For parents, this is a school with a clearly supportive culture that helps students finish high school, but one that is currently working to reverse a recent academic slide.
