Summary:
Zip code 48615 is home to a single high school, Breckenridge MiddleHigh School, which serves grades 6 through 12 and enrolls 310 students within the Breckenridge Community Schools district, a middle-income area where 58.39% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
For parents, the most striking feature of this school is its graduation success story. With a 93.1% graduation rate—nearly 10 points above the state average—and a 0.0% dropout rate, the school clearly excels at keeping students on track to earn their diplomas. Chronic absenteeism (19.1%) is also well below the state rate of 27.9%. However, this positive retention picture contrasts with a declining academic trajectory. The school’s state ranking has slipped from the 73rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile for 2025-2026, and proficiency rates have dropped in most subjects year-over-year. The most dramatic example is 11th grade social studies, which fell from 48.8% to 25.6% proficient, far below the state’s 43.2%. Mathematics is a consistent weakness across all grades—7th grade M-Step math sits at just 14.6% proficient (state: 33.3%), and 11th grade SAT math is 14.0% (state: 26.5%).
On the positive side, the school shows genuine strength in English Language Arts in certain grades. Tenth graders achieved 65.1% proficiency on the PSAT ELA (state: 58.0%), and 7th graders improved to 41.5% on M-Step ELA, exceeding the state average. Eighth graders also shone in social studies, jumping to 54.5% proficiency, above the state’s 50.3%. With per-student spending of $14,766 and a favorable 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio, the school has solid resources. The key question for parents is whether the school’s remarkable ability to graduate students can be paired with stronger academic gains, particularly in math, where targeted interventions appear urgently needed to reverse the three-year decline in overall rankings.
