Summary:
Middle Schools in zip code 48423 serve the Davison, MI area and include two schools—Davison Middle School (grades 7-8) and Hahn Intermediate School (grades 5-6)—both part of Davison Community Schools, which holds a 3-star district rating.
For parents comparing the two, Davison Middle School is the higher-performing school overall, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 78th percentile statewide. Its standout subjects include 8th-grade Social Studies (66.5% proficient vs. 50.3% state) and 8th-grade PSAT ELA (75% vs. 64.8% state). However, math is a relative weakness, with 7th-grade math at exactly the state average (33%). Hahn Intermediate School lacks a state ranking but performs at or above state averages in most subjects, with 6th-grade ELA (41.8%) and 5th-grade Science (41.4%) as strengths; its only below-average subject is 5th-grade Social Studies (23.7% vs. 27.5% state). Both schools serve a majority low-income population (over 50% free/reduced lunch) yet still outperform state averages in several areas, suggesting effective district support.
Notable differences include spending and class size: Davison Middle School spends $14,671 per student with a 17.2 student-teacher ratio, while Hahn Intermediate School spends $12,870 with a higher 19.2 ratio. Despite lower funding and larger classes, Hahn has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (19.3% vs. 22.5%), and both are well below the state average of 27.9%. A key concern is that both schools showed declines in most subjects from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, which may indicate a district-wide trend or cohort effect. Additionally, math proficiency remains a consistent weak spot across both schools, making it a clear target for curriculum improvement.
