Summary

Scranton Middle School in Brighton, MI, serves 850 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the highly regarded Brighton Area Schools district, which ranks in the top 5% of districts statewide.

Scranton is an academic standout, ranking 29th out of 896 Michigan middle schools (97th percentile) with a 5-star rating. Its test scores are exceptional—students outperform state averages by 25 to 33 percentage points in every subject. For example, 8th grade PSAT math proficiency is 65.9% versus 33.2% statewide, and 7th grade ELA is 66.1% versus 38.4%. The school also achieves remarkable equity: low-income students rank 13th of 834 schools statewide, and special education students rank 12th of 236—both in the top 5%. When compared to nearby schools, Scranton leads clearly. It outpaces Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek (ranked 66th) by 5.6 points in 7th grade ELA and by nearly 10 points in 8th grade PSAT math. The gap widens further against Centennial Middle School (93rd) and Sarah G Banks Middle School (138th), where proficiency rates are 10–20 points lower. Scranton also spends efficiently at $14,088 per student—less than several lower-performing peers—while delivering top-tier results.

One area for attention is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 17.1%, above the district average of 16.0% and up from 8.5% pre-pandemic. Despite this, the school's four-year climb from 92nd to 29th statewide shows a sustained culture of improvement. A slight dip in math from the feeder school, Maltby Intermediate School (66.7% proficiency) to Scranton's 7th grade (62.9%), is worth noting, but overall, Scranton delivers elite academics, strong support for all learners, and efficient resource use—making it a top choice for families in the Brighton area.
