Summary

Lewis H. Britton Middle serves 637 students in grades 6–8 in Morgan Hill, as part of Morgan Hill Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science were all below state and district averages. The most important academic concern is math: 29% of students were proficient, 9 percentage points below the state and 6 below the district.

Science is Britton’s strongest subject relative to the state, while math is its weakest compared with nearby middle schools. Science proficiency was 34%, just 2 points below the state; ELA was 42%, 7 points below; and math was 29%, 9 points below. Compared with the average for six nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Britton was 5 points lower in science, 7 lower in ELA and 14 lower in math. It ranked fourth of seven in science, fifth of seven in ELA and second-lowest in math. Against district middle school Martin Murphy Middle, Britton had higher ELA and science results but lower math results. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 26% in 2025–26, compared with 18% in both the state and district.

Scores are higher than in 2022–23, but the latest year brought declines in all three subjects: since 2022–23, ELA rose 9 percentage points, math 4 and science 7, while from 2024–25 to 2025–26 they fell 2, 4 and 5 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranked Britton at the 48th percentile and gave it 2 stars for 2025–26; its percentile fell 9 points from the previous year. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 23.6, the highest among 11 nearby schools. In 2024–25, 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 29th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 48th, indicating a lower relative standing for this group; its ranking for Hispanic Students fell 17 points, from the 51st percentile in 2024–25 to the 34th in 2025–26.
