Hamady Community High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and surrounding districts on key metrics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step/Science, 7% in M-Step/Social Studies, and 16.3% in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, far below the state averages. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 50.3% to 90.4%, and high dropout rates, ranging from 7.4% to 28.1%. Additionally, Hamady Community High School has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 48.8%, much higher than the state and surrounding district averages.

Despite the school's consistently low performance, there is little evidence of significant improvement over the past decade.

Addressing the challenges facing Hamady Community High School will require a comprehensive, long-term approach that addresses the underlying systemic issues within the Westwood Heights Schools district and the broader Flint community.
