The school is part of the Madison County School District, which is ranked 17th out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Madison Crossing Elementary has a relatively balanced racial makeup, with 42.84% White, 47.48% African American, 3.35% Hispanic, and 4% Asian students.

The school consistently performs well on state assessments, with a significant percentage of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

The school's test scores have remained strong over the years, even as the student population has become more diverse. This suggests that the school is effectively addressing the needs of its diverse student population, and its practices and strategies could be valuable for other schools to learn from, especially those facing similar challenges in serving economically disadvantaged students.

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.
