Three Cheers for Leland High School

Aug. 30, 2025

Northern Michigan has no shortage of great schools, but as we head back for the 2025-26 school year, there’s one academic institution basking in the glow of a special shoutout. U.S. News & World Report releases its “Best High Schools” ranking every summer, and this year, Leland High School ranked No. 8 in the entire state of Michigan and in the top 500 in the country. (Even more impressive, LHS jumped way up the charts from their spot at No. 67 last year!) Part of the Leland Public School District, the high school is home to about 130 students with a graduation rate of 94 percent. One other NoMi school hit the top 30 in the state: Elk Rapids High School, which clocked in at No. 25. Way to go, Comets! (And Elks!)
