Summary:

Madison Creative Arts Academy Inc is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Madison, Florida, with a student population of 391. The school is located within the Madison school district, which is ranked 62 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Creative Arts Academy Inc stands out from the surrounding schools, such as Greenville Elementary School, Pinetta Elementary School, Lee Elementary School, and Madison County Central School, in several key areas. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (82.35%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have much higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, Madison Creative Arts Academy Inc consistently outperforms the Madison district and the state of Florida in various standardized test subjects and grade levels, such as 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 82% proficiency in Civics, compared to 43% and 78% for the Madison district, respectively.

However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.4% in 2018-2019 to 39.5% in 2022-2023, which is in contrast to the surrounding schools that have lower but still concerning chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Madison Creative Arts Academy Inc has an extremely low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 0.77% to 0.91% over the past few years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools, which have much higher rates of 60-87%. These factors suggest that the school may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its higher academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
