While Flextech High School Shepherd boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, its academic performance lags behind the state average, with 11th-grade students scoring below the state average in M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies. The school's statewide ranking of 541 out of 735 Michigan high schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest room for improvement in overall academic achievement. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and high spending per student of $12,433 indicate a focus on providing a supportive educational environment.

One area of concern for Flextech High School Shepherd is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.9%, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's service of a population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, highlights the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of the student body.
