Summary:

Zip code 48313 in Sterling Heights, MI, is served by two public high schools—Adlai Stevenson High School and Henry Ford II High School—both part of the highly-rated Utica Community Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide. These schools serve grades 9-12 and enroll roughly 1,900 and 1,700 students, respectively, making them large, comprehensive institutions in a suburban setting.

For parents comparing the two, Henry Ford II High School is the stronger overall performer. It ranks 177th in Michigan (78th percentile) versus 295th (63rd percentile) for Adlai Stevenson High School. Henry Ford II also posts a higher graduation rate (98.3% vs. 95.9%), lower chronic absenteeism (18.4% vs. 23.1%), and dramatically better M-Step proficiency in Science (35.1% vs. 21.7%) and Social Studies (50.8% vs. 28.4%). It achieves these results while spending about $1,578 less per student, suggesting more efficient resource use. However, Adlai Stevenson High School has its own strengths: it edges out Henry Ford II in SAT Math proficiency (37.9% vs. 34.9%) and has a slightly lower dropout rate (1.3% vs. 1.4%). Stevenson also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (54.4% free/reduced lunch vs. 40.5%), which helps contextualize some performance gaps.

One fascinating trend is in 9th-grade PSAT results, where Adlai Stevenson High School actually outperforms Henry Ford II in both English Language Arts (80.7% vs. 66.9%) and Math (45.8% vs. 39.6%). Yet by 10th and 11th grade, Henry Ford II students pull ahead, suggesting a possible "freshman boost" at Stevenson that fades, or a stronger upperclassmen curriculum at Henry Ford II. Both schools, however, far exceed state averages in SAT Reading/Writing and Math, indicating solid college readiness across the board. For families, the choice may come down to whether they prioritize Henry Ford II's overall rankings and science/social studies strength or Stevenson's math performance and support for a more diverse socioeconomic population.
