Summary

Addison High School is a small public school in rural Addison, Alabama, serving 232 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Winston County district. The school has experienced a dramatic decline in its statewide ranking, falling from the 71st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 36th percentile (2 stars) for 2025-2026—its lowest ranking in a decade and a drop of 134 positions.

The most concerning academic indicator is 11th-grade mathematics proficiency, which plummeted from 26.19% to just 8.11% in one year—less than one-third of the state average (27.21%) and far below the district average (22.14%). This weakness is particularly stark when compared to nearby Cold Springs High School, which achieves 39.66% proficiency in 11th-grade math despite having a similar enrollment size. The decline is school-wide, affecting all student subgroups uniformly, including a drop for female students from the 95th percentile to the 39th percentile. However, there are bright spots: 7th graders at Addison outperform the state in both math (25.71% vs. 24.46%) and English (68.57% vs. 55.25%), and 8th-grade science proficiency nearly matches the state average. The stark contrast between 7th and 11th-grade performance suggests a significant cohort effect, where the current senior class is academically weaker while younger students show promise.

Despite the academic challenges, Addison maintains several strengths. The graduation rate of 93.0% exceeds the state average of 91.5%, and chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 21.1% in 2021-2022 to 9.4% in 2024-2025—now below both district and state averages. The school has also demonstrated resilience historically, bouncing back from a 199th-place ranking in 2020-2021 to 57th place in 2023-2024. While Winston County High School (12.57 miles away) has maintained more stable performance with 22.5% 11th-grade math proficiency, and both Winston County high schools declined simultaneously in 2025-2026, Addison's improving attendance and strong early-grade performance provide a foundation for potential recovery.
