The nonprofit organization Great Lakes Education Project suggested in 2013 that Pontiac High be closed.[4] By 2017 the Michigan State School Reform Office considered closing the school; in response parents, school district employees, and others in the area attended a rally protesting against the movement to close the school.[5][6]
