Summary

Addams Elementary and ECC is a public school in Royal Oak, MI, serving 436 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-rated Royal Oak Schools district.

Addams stands out for its strong overall academic record, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 81st percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. The school has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 28.6% in 2021-2022 to just 12.8% in 2024-2025—far better than the district average of 21.2% and the state average of 27.9%. This improvement suggests a positive, engaging school climate where students want to be present. Addams also invests heavily in its students, spending $20,421 per pupil and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, significantly lower than nearby Oak Ridge Elementary (15.3) and Northwood Elementary (17.6). This investment appears to pay off in specific areas—the school earns a 5-star rating for its work with African American students, ranking 12th out of 388 schools statewide for that subgroup.

However, parents should be aware of some inconsistencies. While 3rd-grade scores are a clear strength (69.4% math proficiency), there is a consistent and significant drop in math proficiency by 4th grade, falling to just 39.2%—a pattern seen across multiple years. Performance in 5th grade is also mixed, with math (46.3%) and social studies (37.9%) below district averages. Within the district, Addams is outperformed by both Oak Ridge (89th percentile) and Northwood (95th percentile), with Northwood achieving top-tier results despite spending significantly less per student. This raises questions about resource allocation, though Addams' low absenteeism and strong early-grade foundation suggest the school excels at creating a supportive environment, even if academic growth in upper elementary grades may need additional focus.
