Best Public Schools in Addison, MI

Summary:

The city of Addison, Michigan is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Addison Elementary School, Addison High School, and Addison Middle School. These schools serve the Addison Community Schools district, which has seen some notable academic performance trends and challenges in recent years.

Addison High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 321 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has also shown improvement, moving up from a 4-star rating and 384th ranking in 2021-2022 to 218th out of 735 schools in 2022-2023. Addison Elementary School also performed well in 5th-grade science, with 49% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40.4%. However, the elementary school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates have declined from 51% in 2022-2023 to just 20.9% in 2023-2024.

Across the district, there are some concerning trends, including consistently low English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates at Addison Middle School, and a significant gap between Addison High School's performance in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing versus Mathematics on the SAT. Additionally, all three schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 35.8%, which may be impacting academic outcomes. The district also serves a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need to address socioeconomic challenges that could be barriers to student success.
