Utica High School is a top-performing school in the district, ranking in the top half of Michigan high schools with a 4-star rating. The school's test scores, particularly in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, are above the district and state averages. However, Utica High School also has a relatively high dropout rate of 7.6% and chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which are areas of concern. In contrast, Eppler Junior High School is another 4-star school that ranks in the top quarter of Michigan middle schools, with strong performance in PSAT/English Language Arts.
At the elementary level, Wiley Elementary School stands out with strong English Language Arts proficiency rates, while West Utica Elementary School lags behind, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. The district's spending per student varies, with the higher-spending schools generally performing better. Overall, the data suggests that while the Utica Community Schools district has some high-performing schools, there is also significant variation in student outcomes, particularly at the elementary level.
