Summary:
Zip code 95037 in Morgan Hill, California, contains one public middle school, Lewis H. Britton Middle, serving grades 6-8 within the Morgan Hill Unified district.
Lewis H. Britton Middle shows a clear pattern of steady improvement, having increased its statewide ranking over the past three years. The school has a particular strength in science, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. However, performance in English and math, while showing promising growth from grade to grade, remains below these same benchmarks. A notable trend is the significant jump in English scores between 6th and 7th grade, suggesting students are making strong academic progress as they advance.
A primary challenge for the school is a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the district and state average, which is an important factor for families to consider as attendance is closely linked to academic success. With nearly half of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a socioeconomically diverse community. Overall, the school is on an upward trajectory, demonstrating effective improvement strategies, with its science program standing out as a particular area of success.
