Summary

Davison Middle School in Davison, MI, serves 816 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the highly regarded Davison Community Schools district. This school has earned a 4-star rating for the past decade and consistently ranks in the top quarter of Michigan middle schools, making it a standout option for families in the Flint and Burton area.

Academically, Davison Middle School outperforms the state average in every subject and grade level tested. For example, 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 48.9% compared to the state's 38.4%, and 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency is an impressive 66.5% versus the state's 50.3%. The school is particularly effective with students from low socio-economic backgrounds—over half of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch—yet it ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide for closing the achievement gap with this group. This is a remarkable strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Bendle Middle School or Bentley Middle School, where proficiency rates are in the single digits and low teens. Davison also achieves these results efficiently, spending $14,671 per student—less than several lower-performing schools in the region.

However, there are areas for improvement. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 22.5%, which is higher than high-performing neighbors like Goodrich Middle School (14.7%) and Grand Blanc Middle School East (17.9%). Additionally, while the school excels with economically disadvantaged students, its support for special education students is a challenge, with rankings in the 36th percentile. A slight dip in 7th-grade ELA proficiency (from 57.6% to 48.9%) is also worth watching. Overall, Davison Middle School offers a strong, consistent academic experience, particularly for students facing economic challenges, and benefits from a cohesive pipeline with its feeder school, Hahn Intermediate School.
