Summary

Britton Deerfield SchoolsBritton Building is a small combined middle and high school in Britton, MI, serving 208 students in grades 6-12 within the Britton Deerfield Schools district.

This school has experienced significant ups and downs in academic performance. After a particularly difficult year that placed it in the 8th percentile statewide, the school rebounded to the 36th percentile in the most recent rankings. While this shows capacity for improvement, it still trails most nearby traditional public schools. For context, Tecumseh High School ranks in the 88th percentile, Clinton High School in the 89th, and Summerfield Junior/Senior High School in the 80th. One bright spot is that the school maintains a solid graduation rate of 89.3%, which beats the state average, and its dropout rate is lower than the state's. However, test scores reveal challenges, particularly in 7th-grade English and math, and 8th-grade math, where proficiency rates are roughly half the state average. By 11th grade, SAT reading and writing scores (42.9% proficient) also lag behind the state (52.1%) and are far below regional peers like Tecumseh (67%).

A key concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 33.8%—well above the state average of 27.9% and more than double the rate at nearby Dundee Community High School (17.6%). This likely contributes to the academic struggles. There is also a notable gap in performance between male and female students that has widened recently. On a positive note, the school spends a generous $18,407 per student—about 30-40% more than higher-performing neighbors like Tecumseh ($13,255) and Dundee ($13,786)—which suggests resources are available, though they aren't yet translating into the academic results parents might expect. For families considering this school, it's worth understanding that small class sizes can lead to big year-to-year swings in data, and that the school's greatest strengths currently lie in its graduation rates and some promising 8th-grade English and science scores.
