Summary

Vicksburg High School is a highly rated public high school in Vicksburg, MI, serving 724 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Vicksburg Community Schools district.

If you're looking for a school where your child will be academically challenged and well-supported on the path to graduation, Vicksburg High School is an excellent choice. The school consistently earns 4-star ratings and ranks in the top 20-25% of high schools statewide, a track record of stability that suggests strong, effective teaching. In the most recent school year, its students dramatically outperformed state averages in every subject. For example, 74.5% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 52.1% statewide, and 53.4% were proficient in science, versus 35.2% statewide. This level of achievement puts Vicksburg on par with top regional schools like Portage Central High School and Portage Northern High School. The school also boasts a very high 93.5% graduation rate and a low dropout rate, indicating a supportive environment that helps students succeed. Furthermore, the school saw a dramatic improvement in its state ranking this past year, jumping from the 64th to the 80th percentile, which points to a recent and successful shift in academic focus.

While the overall picture is very positive, there are a couple of areas to be aware of. The school's performance with Special Education students, while still average, is below its own high standards, suggesting an opportunity for more targeted support. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a challenge, with 20.4% of students missing enough school to be considered chronically absent—higher than the district average. This is a paradox worth noting: students who attend regularly perform exceptionally well, but a significant portion of the student body is missing out. For context, the contrast with the district's alternative school, Vicksburg Pathways High School, is stark, as that school has a much lower graduation rate and test scores. This highlights that Vicksburg High School is the district's primary, high-achieving comprehensive high school, offering a quality of education competitive with the best in the area.
