Best Public Schools in Middleton, MI


Summary:

The city of Middleton, Michigan is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Fulton Elementary School, Fulton High School, and Fulton Middle School. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are collectively struggling, with academic performance well below state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

None of the Middleton schools stand out as clear academic leaders. All three schools have proficiency rates ranging from just 14.3% to 47.6% on state assessments, significantly lower than the state benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with rates ranging from 14.0% to 19.7% - much higher than the state average. Graduation rates at Fulton High School are concerning at 86.0%, and the dropout rate is 6.9%, both of which are worrying compared to state norms.

Socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role, as the schools serve high percentages of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 42.11% to 58.4%. Funding and resource allocation also vary, with per-student spending ranging from $11,539 to $15,744 and student-teacher ratios from 16.2 to 18.9. Addressing these systemic challenges will require a collaborative effort from the Fulton Schools district, school administrators, teachers, parents, and the broader Middleton community.
