Summary:
The city of Adrian, Michigan, is home to 5 high schools serving students in grades 9-12, including Adrian High School, Madison High School, JCLISD Academy A Regional Middle College, Adrian Community High School, and Gus Harrison Correctional Facility. These schools are operated by the Adrian Public Schools, Madison School District (Lenawee), Lenawee Independent School District (Isd), and Michigan Department of Corrections, respectively.
Among the standout schools in the area, JCLISD Academy A Regional Middle College consistently ranks among the top high schools in Michigan, with a ranking of 11th out of 561 schools in the 2020-2021 school year and 5th out of 824 schools in the 2017-2018 school year. The school also boasts a high percentage of students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics (58.8% in 2023-2024), significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Madison High School is another high-performing school, with a relatively high statewide ranking and outperforming the state and district averages in several test score categories.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern across the schools, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, and disparities in test scores, free and reduced lunch rates, and student-teacher ratios. These findings suggest that while some schools in the Adrian area are excelling, there may be underlying issues that need to be addressed to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
