A Higher Staffing Ratio Than the National Benchmark

What the Grades Leave Out
Four schools here share a C−, but their category grades differ. Mount Clemens earned a B for teachers, while Community and North Lake earned B− grades in college prep.
North Lake also offers a fifth-year path to a diploma, a detail families need when interpreting a graduation figure without a stated cohort.
For context, Michigan reported that 55.4% of 11th graders met or exceeded the state’s English language arts standard and 27.5% met or exceeded its math standard in 2025. The state’s four-year graduation rate for the class of 2025 was 84.0%.
The Niche figures above lack the testing or cohort details needed to calculate gaps against those benchmarks.
Families comparing schools can use MI School Data’s high school testing reports to look up the same grade and year across campuses. Then ask each school how a student would access the courses or support that matter to them.
