Summary

DeWitt Middle School, located in DeWitt, MI, serves 754 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-ranked DeWitt Public Schools district, which sits in the 95th percentile of Michigan districts.

DeWitt Middle School is a consistent academic powerhouse, ranking in the top 10% of all Michigan middle schools for nearly a decade. Its students dramatically outperform state averages across every subject and grade level. For example, 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 67.6% compared to the state average of 38.4%, and 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency is 77.6% versus 50.3% statewide. The school also excels on college-prep assessments, with 85.1% of 8th graders proficient in PSAT English Language Arts. While Haslett Middle School is its closest competitor, DeWitt outperforms it in several key areas, including 7th-grade Math (60.3% vs. 46%) and 7th-grade ELA (67.6% vs. 56.2%). Notably, DeWitt achieves these results with efficient spending ($13,016 per student), less than nearby Haslett ($13,655) and significantly less than some Lansing-area schools that spend over $22,000 per student.

One of the school's most striking differentiators is its low chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.6%—less than half the state average of 27.9%. This is far better than nearby schools like MacDonald Middle School (30.8%) and Kenneth T Beagle Middle School (23.2%). The school also performs exceptionally well across all student subgroups, ranking in the 92nd percentile for both male and female students and the 90th percentile for white students. While the school saw a slight dip in 6th-grade proficiency in the most recent year, its overall trajectory remains stellar. For parents considering schools in the greater Lansing area, DeWitt stands out as a top-tier option, though it's worth noting the stark contrast with nearby Lansing Public School District schools like Mt Hope School and Sheridan Road, which face significant challenges with proficiency rates in the single digits and chronic absenteeism above 56%.
