Madison Consolidated High School

Summary:

Madison Consolidated High School is a public high school serving 847 students in grades 9-12 in Madison, Indiana, which is part of the Switzerland County School Corp district.

While the school has some bright spots, such as the strong performance of female and Hispanic students, it faces several challenges. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, currently placing it in the middle of Indiana high schools at 182 out of 431. Notably, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.07%) compared to surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, the school struggles with low proficiency rates in mathematics, with only 25.57% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better on the SAT, compared to the state average of 31.14%. The school also grapples with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 63.5%, which is significantly higher than the surrounding Greater Clark County Schools and Southwestern-Jefferson County Con districts.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Switzerland County Senior High School, New Washington Middle/High School, and Southwestern High School, Madison Consolidated High School faces unique challenges in addressing achievement gaps, improving mathematics instruction, and reducing chronic absenteeism to better serve its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
