Zip code 49087 is home to just one high school, Schoolcraft High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the highly-rated Schoolcraft Community Schools district in a relatively affluent area of Michigan.
Schoolcraft High School stands out as a strong academic performer, with its district ranking 66th out of 625 in Michigan (89th percentile) and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts a 94.6% graduation rate—well above the state average of 84%—and an exceptional 0.0% dropout rate. Academically, students consistently outperform state averages across nearly every subject and grade level. The most striking results are in social studies, where 8th graders achieve 78.8% proficiency (28.5 points above the state) and 11th graders reach 63.5% proficiency (20.3 points above). SAT scores are also strong, with 61.3% proficiency in reading/writing and 42.7% in math, both significantly exceeding state averages. With only 22.31% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism at 15.8% (compared to the state's 27.9%), the school serves a supportive student population.
However, parents should be aware of some volatility in the data. The school's state ranking swung dramatically from 76th (2023-24) to 374th (2024-25) before recovering to 105th (2025-26), which may reflect different student cohorts or testing anomalies. Year-over-year test scores also fluctuate—for example, 11th-grade science proficiency dropped from 57.5% to 45.9%, while social studies jumped from 38.9% to 63.5%. There's also a notable math gap between grades, with 9th graders at 58.2% proficiency on PSAT math but 10th graders at just 40.3%. Despite these variations, the school's strong middle school foundation (8th-grade scores are consistently high across subjects), efficient per-student spending of $13,928, and perfect dropout rate indicate a healthy, effective learning environment that prepares students well for graduation and beyond.
