Summary

Addison Middle School in Addison, MI, serves 164 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Addison Community Schools district, a small, rural district in Lenawee County. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, placing it in the 48th percentile statewide—essentially average for Michigan middle schools.

One of the most notable findings is a significant gender gap in academic performance. In the most recent school year, male students ranked in the 64th percentile (3 stars), a strong showing, while female students ranked in only the 30th percentile (2 stars)—a 34-point difference. This is a recent shift, as just a year earlier, female students actually outperformed their male peers. Another key differentiator is the school's high student-to-teacher ratio of 21.8, which is considerably higher than nearby schools like Onsted Middle School (12.3) and Jonesville Middle School (18.1). Onsted, located just 7.75 miles away, generally outperforms Addison on state assessments, which may be related to its smaller class sizes and additional resources.

There are several bright spots worth noting. Addison has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from a very high 52.8% in 2021-2022 to 24.5% in 2024-2025—now below the state average of 27.9% and better than many area schools like Middle School at Parkside (44.9%). The school also shows strength in 8th-grade social studies, with 48% proficiency, nearly matching the state average. Additionally, 8th graders taking the PSAT achieved a 34.7% proficiency rate in math, above the state average and higher than several nearby schools. While 6th and 7th grade math and ELA proficiency lag state averages, the strong 8th-grade math results and the positive trajectory for male students suggest that certain instructional strategies are working and could be expanded to benefit all students.
