Summary

Addison Middle School is a public middle school located in Addison, Michigan, serving 162 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Addison Community Schools district, which is ranked 290 out of 613 districts in the state.

Addison Middle School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.6% to 32.6% over the past few years, well above the state average. Academically, the school's performance on M-Step and PSAT tests is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 25-28% in English Language Arts and Math, compared to the state averages of 38-39%. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 52% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Madison Middle School, Addison Middle School generally performs worse academically. However, the school's performance for its low-socioeconomic status students is relatively better, ranking in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools in this subgroup. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, but this increased funding does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for the school and district to re-evaluate their resource allocation and instructional strategies.
