Madison Middle School

Summary:

Madison Middle School is a public middle school in Madison, Nebraska, serving 106 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Madison Public Schools district, which is ranked 209 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Nebraska middle schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is well below the state averages, with only 24% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 55%. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners performing relatively better than other groups, such as female, male, Hispanic, and low-income students.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $14,749 to $16,787 over the past four years, its academic performance remains significantly below the state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes, such as targeted interventions, teacher professional development, and family engagement, may be necessary. Compared to the nearby Norfolk Middle School and Norfolk Junior High School, Madison Middle School has a higher concentration of students from low-income families, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

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.
