Summary

Scripps Middle School in Lake Orion, MI, is a small, high-achieving school serving 446 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-ranked Lake Orion Community Schools district.

Scripps is a standout performer, particularly in English Language Arts. In the most recent testing, 8th graders hit a remarkable 77.5% proficiency rate on the PSAT, which is nearly 13 points above the state average and competitive with specialized programs like Avondale Gifted and Talented Education. The school also does an excellent job preparing students for high school math, with 8th graders scoring well above the state average. However, there is one clear area of concern: 7th-grade math. Proficiency dropped to 46.1%, which is a significant decline from the 61.3% rate just two years prior. This appears to be a specific challenge rather than a school-wide issue, as 6th-grade math remains strong. Another area needing attention is the achievement gap for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, whose performance has slipped notably in the last year.

When compared to its district peers, Scripps has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (13.1%) and the lowest percentage of students on free/reduced lunch. It outperforms Oakview Middle School and Waldon Middle School in 6th and 7th-grade ELA and 6th-grade math, but lags behind both in 8th-grade science and social studies. Against neighboring districts, Scripps holds its own against the highly-regarded Sashabaw Middle School in Clarkston, even surpassing it in 7th-grade ELA. Overall, Scripps is a strong, nurturing environment with excellent literacy instruction, though parents of incoming 7th graders may want to ask about math support and the school's plans to ensure all students thrive.
