Summary:
Zip code 48094 is home to a single high school, Romeo High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 within the Romeo Community Schools district, enrolling 1,817 students in a largely residential area.
Romeo High School is a clear academic standout, outperforming state averages in every reported metric. Its graduation rate is an impressive 96.8% compared to the state’s 84.0%, and its dropout rate is just 2.2% versus 7.1% statewide. The school has also improved its state ranking from 143rd in 2023-2024 to a projected 99th out of 800 schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 88th percentile. Test scores are consistently strong, with 63.9% of 11th graders proficient in SAT Reading/Writing (state: 52.1%) and 49.3% proficient in M-Step Science (state: 35.2%). Even in 9th-grade PSAT Math, where proficiency is 56.5%, the school far exceeds the state’s 33.5%. The student-teacher ratio is 16.6:1, and chronic absenteeism is lower than the state average (20.5% vs. 27.9%). Only 18.71% of students are economically disadvantaged, reflecting a relatively affluent community.
One notable finding is the internal gap between verbal and math skills. While 63.9% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Reading/Writing, only 36.1% are proficient in SAT Math—a 27.8-point gap that is slightly larger than the state’s own 25.6-point gap. This suggests math is a relative area of weakness despite strong overall performance. Scores also fluctuate year to year; for example, SAT Reading/Writing proficiency dipped from 67.4% in 2024-2025 to 63.9% in 2025-2026, while M-Step Science rose from 44.8% to 49.3%. With per-student spending of $15,500, the school achieves results well above state norms, indicating effective resource allocation. For parents, this is a high-performing, stable school with excellent graduation outcomes, though math proficiency may warrant extra attention.
