Summary

Madison Middle School in Adrian, MI, serves 388 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Madison School District (Lenawee), which ranks in the mid-tier of Michigan districts. The school has earned a consistent 3-star rating over the past five years, placing it in the 60th-66th percentile statewide—a stable, average performance level compared to other Michigan middle schools.

One of the school's standout strengths is its 8th-grade Social Studies performance, where 59.8% of students scored proficient—well above the state average of 50.3% and outperforming nearby schools like Whiteford Middle School (41.1%) and Tecumseh Middle School (54.2%). Madison also shows exceptional recent progress with its Special Education students, jumping from the 31st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 76th percentile in the most recent year—a dramatic improvement suggesting targeted interventions are working. However, math proficiency remains a concern, particularly in 6th grade, where only 24% of students met state standards compared to the state average of 31.9%. This "middle school dip" in math has persisted for four consecutive years, indicating a potential need for additional support in foundational concepts for incoming 6th graders.

When compared to Springbrook Middle School, located just 2.93 miles away in the Adrian Public Schools district, Madison outperforms its local competitor in nearly every metric—for example, 7th-grade ELA proficiency is 43.2% versus Springbrook's 23.2%. One trend worth watching is chronic absenteeism, which spiked from 10.8% in 2023-2024 to 22.6% in 2024-2025, though this remains better than the state average of 27.9%. The school spends $14,483 per student, which is competitive with nearby districts and supports strong outcomes for its low-income students, who make up nearly half the student body and recently ranked in the 67th percentile statewide.
