High Schools in Madison Academy

There is only one high school in the Madison Academy district - Madison Academy High School. This school serves a predominantly low-income, minority student population, with 89.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a racial makeup of 78.01% African American, 14.11% White, and 3.73% Hispanic.

While the school's four-year graduation rate of 94.2% is relatively high, its academic performance lags significantly behind state averages. For example, the school's 11th grade proficiency rates in M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies are just 15.7%, compared to state averages of 37.5% and 39.6%, respectively. Additionally, the school's 11th grade SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency rate is 26%, compared to the state average of 51.3%. These low academic achievement levels are coupled with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.9%.

The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its relatively low spending per student of $5,076, which is below the state average. This limited funding may contribute to the school's struggles to support its predominantly low-income, minority student population and improve academic outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a focus on improving the overall learning environment and support systems for students.
