Summary

Addison High School is a small, rural public high school in Addison, MI, serving 190 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Addison Community Schools district.

Addison High School is currently navigating a challenging period. After ranking in the 70th percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year, the school’s most recent ranking dropped dramatically to the 43rd percentile. This decline is reflected in several key areas. The graduation rate fell to 82.9%, below the state average of 84.0% and the lowest among nearby comparable schools like HanoverHorton High School (88.4%) and Columbia Central High School (93.0%). A significant concern is the school’s chronic absenteeism rate of 38.1%, which is far higher than the state average (27.9%) and more than triple the rates at Hanover-Horton (11.7%) and Columbia Central (12.7%). Academically, math proficiency is a consistent weakness, with only 15.6% of 11th graders proficient on the SAT, compared to the state average of 26.5%.

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots and important context for parents. The school shows a clear strength in Social Studies, with 50% of 11th graders proficient on the M-Step, well above the state average of 43.2%. When compared to Pittsford Area High School, a school of similar size, Addison actually performs better in SAT Math (15.6% vs. 10% proficiency) and has a lower dropout rate. The school’s performance has been volatile over the past decade, swinging between the 27th and 70th percentiles, which is common for smaller schools where a single class can have an outsized impact. The strong link between the high absenteeism rate and the recent drop in academic outcomes suggests that improving student attendance is likely the most critical lever for the school’s future success.
