Despite its diverse student body, Madison Academy High School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 87.1% to 94.2%, while the dropout rate has been as high as 12.8%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, reaching as much as 69.8% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages, with only 15.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies, compared to the state averages of 37.5% and 39.6%, respectively.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Bentley Senior High School, Madison Academy High School generally performs worse on key metrics like graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and academic performance. However, the school's ranking for African American students is higher than its overall ranking, suggesting that it may be providing some support or opportunities for this subgroup. Despite these efforts, the school's overall data indicates that it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (89.21%) it serves.
