Fort Madison High School's English Language Arts proficiency rates for 10th and 11th-grade students exceed the Iowa state averages, while its mathematics and science proficiency rates are closer to or slightly below the state levels. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from 181 out of 336 schools in 2022-2023 to 285 out of 332 schools in 2021-2022, suggesting variable or declining performance compared to other high schools in the state.
