We have a proud tradition of providing a quality education to the students we serve. Since our incorporation in 1864, our community has had high standards for instruction and learning. Our tradition of excellence continues. Since 2007, Ludington High School is a silver award winner for the US News & World Report, placing in the top 8% of all high schools in the United States. The State of Michigan “EdYES” report awarded our school district with a letter grade “A”, and our test scores on the MEAP, Michigan Merit, and on the ACT are among the best in the state. Our teachers are all highly qualified for the subjects and grades they teach and they are highly dedicated to both curriculum and social development.  Our K-12 fine arts program is exemplary. In short, we have high standards and our students excel! The Ludington Area School District consists of Ludington High School, Journey Alternative High School, OJ DeJonge Middle School, Foster Elementary (grades 3-5), Franklin Elementary and Lakeview Elementary (grades k-2) and Pere Marquette Early Childhood Center.
