Summary

Williamston High School is a highly regarded public high school in Williamston, MI, serving 609 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Williamston Community Schools district, which ranks in the 94th percentile statewide.

For parents, the most striking takeaway is that Williamston delivers academic results on par with elite suburban schools while maintaining a smaller, more personal environment. In the 2025-2026 school year, 78.6% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (state average: 52.1%), and 38.6% were proficient in SAT Math (state average: 26.5%). These scores rival those at Okemos High School and Haslett High School, yet Williamston does so with roughly half the enrollment of Okemos. The school also shines in student engagement: its graduation rate is an exceptional 97.8% (state: 84.0%), with a dropout rate of just 0.7% and chronic absenteeism at only 9.0%. That absenteeism figure is less than half the rate at Okemos (20.2%) and Haslett (18.0%), and a fraction of the 40.3% seen at nearby Fowlerville High School. Perhaps most impressive, Williamston's Special Education students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide, showing the school supports all learners effectively.

Williamston achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,251) than Okemos ($14,684) or Haslett ($14,282), pointing to efficient resource use. One area for potential growth is math, where proficiency (38.6%) trails English Language Arts (78.6%), though it still doubles the proficiency rates at Fowlerville High School (19.3%) and Perry Secondary Campus (18.8%). The school's state ranking has remained consistently in the 86th-93rd percentile over the past decade, recently jumping to the 92nd percentile—evidence of sustained excellence rather than a one-year fluke. For families seeking a top-tier education with a community feel, Williamston offers a compelling "best of both worlds" option.
