Summary

International Academy is a public high school in Bloomfield Hills, MI, serving 1,370 students in grades 9-12 through the Oakland Schools intermediate district, drawing academically motivated students from across Oakland County.

This school is an academic powerhouse, consistently ranked #1 or #2 in Michigan for nearly a decade. Its test scores are simply extraordinary: 97.9% of students are proficient in SAT reading and writing, and 94.5% are proficient in SAT math—compared to state averages of 52.1% and 26.5%, respectively. Even the school's "weakest" subject, science, sees 83.1% proficiency, which exceeds the state's highest proficiency rate in any subject. The math advantage is especially striking when compared to nearby top-30 schools: International Academy's math proficiency is nearly double that of Bloomfield Hills High School (47.6%) and 20 points higher than Troy High School (73.8%). This excellence extends across all student groups, with every demographic subgroup ranking in the 98th-100th percentile statewide. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.4%—less than half the state average of 27.9%—reflecting a deeply engaged student body.

What makes this school unique is its regional magnet structure and rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, which requires all students to engage with advanced concepts. The school's success appears systemic rather than coincidental, given its remarkable stability at the top of state rankings year after year. While the student population is relatively affluent (about 10% qualify for free/reduced lunch), even low-income students at this school perform at #1 in the state. For parents seeking an intensely academic environment with proven, consistent results, International Academy represents the gold standard in Michigan—though the contrast with nearby Pontiac High School, located just 5 miles away with 9.6% SAT reading proficiency and a 72.2% chronic absenteeism rate, highlights the stark educational stratification within this small geographic region.
