Summary:
The Brighton Area Schools district in Michigan is home to two exceptional middle schools: Scranton Middle School and Maltby Intermediate School. Both schools have consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking among the top middle schools in the state.
Scranton Middle School is a standout, ranking 44th out of 890 Michigan middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 69.6% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA and 69.1% proficient or better in Math on the 2024-2025 M-Step assessments. Maltby Intermediate School is also a high-performing institution, ranking 53rd out of 921 Michigan middle schools in the 2013-2014 school year and earning a 5-star rating.
Both Scranton Middle School and Maltby Intermediate School serve relatively affluent student populations, with low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients (13.78% and 14.83%, respectively, in 2023-2024). The schools also boast low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, which may contribute to their academic success. However, the district may want to address the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, which could be an area of concern.
