Summary

Madison High School in Adrian, MI, serves 439 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Madison School District (Lenawee), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 53rd percentile statewide.

Madison High School stands out for its exceptional early high school math performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, 40.6% of 9th graders and 40.2% of 10th graders were proficient in math on the PSAT—well above state averages (33.5% and 31.5%) and dramatically higher than nearby Adrian High School (17.3% and 18.3%). The school also excels at keeping students on track: its 93.2% graduation rate tops the state average (84.0%) and beats Onsted Community High School (87.5%), Tecumseh High School (91.4%), and Adrian High School (90.1%). Its dropout rate of 1.9% is far below the state's 7.1% and significantly better than Adrian High School's 5.7%. Chronic absenteeism at 23.4% is also a stark contrast to Adrian High School's 48.4% and Adrian Community High School's 57.1%.

One interesting pattern: while Madison's 9th and 10th-grade math scores are a clear strength, its 11th-grade SAT math proficiency (21.8%) lags the state average (26.5%), suggesting foundational skills don't fully translate to college-readiness benchmarks by junior year. Still, the school has shown remarkable consistency, hovering between the 54th and 76th percentiles in state rankings over the past decade, with a recent improvement to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026. This stability stands out in a region where nearby schools like Onsted and Adrian have seen significant ranking swings. Madison also outperforms its immediate neighbor Adrian High School across nearly every academic metric—science (28.7% vs. 15.9%), social studies (42.6% vs. 24.9%), and math (21.8% vs. 18.7%)—demonstrating a strong educational environment for its students.
