FARWELL HIGH SCHOOL
Scores Highest in the County on Mackinac Center's Performance Report Card

Report Card

Farwell High School was the only high school in the county to earn a B on the 2018 Michigan Public High School Context and Performance Report Card published by the Mackinac Center. The report card is designed to measure high school performance. FHS was ranked 145 out of 674 schools and at the 79th percentile. This report is a school-level assessment of academic performance based on a four-year average of state standardized tests. This report card is unique in that it takes into consideration the socioeconomic status of students when assessing an individual school’s performance.
