Summary

Scranton Middle School is a public middle school in Brighton Area Schools district, serving 849 students in grades 7-8. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency and has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking among the top middle schools in Michigan.

Scranton Middle School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages in English Language Arts (69.6% vs. 39.2%), Math (69.1% vs. 33.3%), Science (68.7% vs. 41.1%), and Social Studies (68.9% vs. 47%) for 7th and 8th-grade students. The school's performance is also impressive across different student subgroups, ranking highly among Michigan middle schools for female students, male students, Hispanic students, White students, and students with low socioeconomic status.

While Scranton Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, ranging from 14.3% to 30.8% in recent years, this challenge is not unique to the school and is a common concern among middle schools in the region. The school's higher per-student spending, at $14,272 in 2023-2024, may contribute to its strong academic performance, but it is important to ensure that the resources are being utilized effectively. Compared to nearby schools, such as Maltby Intermediate School, Scranton Middle School's performance is generally stronger, making it a standout option for families in the area.
