Summary

Seitz Middle School in Riverview, MI, serves 606 students in grades 6-8 within the Riverview Community School District, a working-to-middle-class community in the Downriver area south of Detroit. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 52nd percentile statewide, placing it solidly in the middle of the pack when compared to nearby schools.

Seitz stands out most for its exceptional support of English Language Learners, ranking 15th out of 108 schools statewide for this group—a remarkable achievement. The school also posts strong results for its African American students, ranking in the 67th-77th percentile in recent years. Perhaps most impressive is the school's efficiency: Seitz spends about $12,315 per student, roughly 40% less than neighbors like Davidson Middle School ($19,812) and Lincoln Park Middle School ($20,402), yet achieves significantly better outcomes. Eighth-grade PSAT English scores are a consistent bright spot, with 72.1% of students proficient—well above the state average of 64.8%. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from a peak of 41.2% post-pandemic to 26.1%, now below the state average.

However, math proficiency remains a clear weakness, with 6th and 7th grade M-Step scores lagging state averages. The school also shows a persistent gender gap, with female students outperforming males, and special education outcomes have declined from the 80th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 49th percentile recently. Compared to its closest neighbor, Davidson Middle School just 1.15 miles away, Seitz achieves far better results with lower absenteeism and a more diverse student body. While it doesn't reach the heights of affluent Grosse Ile Middle School (83rd percentile) or Brownstown Middle School (74th percentile), Seitz clearly outperforms schools to its west in Taylor, Lincoln Park, and Southgate, making it a dependable, high-value choice for Riverview families.
