Madison District Public Schools

The Madison District Public Schools system in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that these schools are facing significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty and racial disparities, and attendance issues.

Madison Elementary School stands out as the lowest-performing school in the district, with the highest percentage of African American students, the lowest test scores, and the highest chronic absenteeism rate. Similarly, Madison High School has the highest percentage of African American students, the lowest SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency rates, and a high dropout rate, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Across the district, the schools have a significantly higher percentage of students from low-income families and African American students compared to the state averages. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the schools are not achieving the desired academic outcomes, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and the district's strategies for improving student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive and targeted approach from the Madison District Public Schools to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
