Summary

Tecumseh Middle School in Tecumseh, MI, serves 900 students in grades 4 through 8 and is part of the Tecumseh Public Schools district, which ranks in the top 30% of Michigan districts.

Tecumseh Middle School stands out for its strong 8th-grade performance in reading, science, and social studies. On the PSAT English Language Arts exam, 73.5% of 8th graders met proficiency standards, well above the state average of 64.8% and competitive with nearby Dundee Middle School (76.8%). Science proficiency (45.3%) and social studies (54.2%) also beat state averages. The school has made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 52% in 2021-2022 to 21.7%—now below the state average of 27.9%. Additionally, Hispanic students at the school rank in the 82nd percentile statewide, a significant improvement from the prior year.

However, there are two areas of concern. Math proficiency lags behind state averages across all grades—for example, only 29.4% of 4th graders and 24.7% of 6th graders are proficient in math, compared to state averages of 39.4% and 31.9%, respectively. Special education students also face significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile statewide. The school's overall state ranking has slipped from the 82nd percentile (2023-2024) to the 66th percentile (2025-2026), and its student-teacher ratio of 18:1 is higher than most nearby schools. When compared to Clinton Middle School, just 4.5 miles away with similar demographics, Clinton outperforms Tecumseh in overall ranking and 8th-grade reading, though Tecumseh edges out Clinton in 8th-grade math. For parents, this is a solid school with clear strengths in literacy and content areas, but one that warrants questions about math support and services for students with IEPs.
