Summary

Ubly Community JrSr High School is a small, rural public school in Ubly, MI, serving 305 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Ubly Community Schools district.

Ubly stands out for its exceptional student engagement and academic strengths. The school boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.3%, far below the state average of 27.9% and dramatically better than nearby schools like OwendaleGagetown JrSr High School (46.8%) and Laker High School (13.8%). Its graduation rate of 97.6% outpaces the state average (84.0%) and exceeds all comparable area schools, including Cass City Junior and Senior High School (94.8%). Academically, Ubly shines in mathematics, with 8th-grade PSAT math proficiency at 55.6% versus the state's 33.2%, and early high school ELA scores are equally impressive—84.4% of 9th graders are proficient in reading, compared to 60.2% statewide. The school also performs exceptionally well with its low-income students, who rank in the 82nd percentile statewide.

However, there are areas needing attention. A significant gender gap exists, with female students ranking in the 87th percentile while male students rank in the 61st percentile. Additionally, 11th-grade science proficiency is a stark outlier at just 12.1%, compared to the state average of 35.2%—a 23-point gap that warrants investigation. The school's ranking has also been volatile, swinging from a 5-star rating in 2022-2023 to 3 stars for two years before rebounding to 4 stars recently, likely due to its small cohort sizes. Despite these challenges, Ubly compares favorably to its closest competitor, Cass City Junior and Senior High School, outperforming it in graduation rate, attendance, and 8th-grade math proficiency, making it a strong choice for families in the region.

Ubly High School is a great school, and I received a superior education there. I felt fully prepared for college and never had to take any remedial classwork. The teachers were great and always willing to go the extra mile when needed. The school was a great size with there being enough kids to be able to choose your friends, but not so many that you didn't know everyone. Close Quote
