Madison High School

Summary:

Madison High School is a public high school located in Madison, Nebraska, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 160 students. The school is part of the Madison Public Schools district, which is ranked 209 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic status, and racial diversity compared to nearby schools like Clarkson Junior-Senior High School, Newman Grove High School, and Leigh High School. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Nebraska high schools, with only 15.22% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.35%. Additionally, 61.25% of Madison High School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's higher ranking among Hispanic students compared to its overall ranking, the proficiency rates for this student group are still significantly below the state averages. This suggests that Madison High School may face unique challenges in supporting the academic success of its predominantly Hispanic student population, which makes up 70% of the school's enrollment. The school's declining academic performance and the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement are areas of concern for parents and the community.

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.
