Summary:
The Madison Local district in Ohio is home to a single high school, Madison High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a strong four-year graduation rate of 96.9%, it faces some academic challenges, including a declining statewide ranking and uneven performance on state tests, particularly in Geometry and English II.
Enrollment at Madison High School stands at 403 students, with a predominantly White (95.78%) student population. The school's performance on Ohio State Tests varies, with higher proficiency rates in American History (71.4%) and Algebra I (68.2%), but lower rates in Geometry (36.2%) and English II (61.2%). Compared to state and district averages, the school's academic performance is generally on par or slightly below. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.3%, which may be impacting overall student achievement.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as a significant portion (67.25%) of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,489, which is within a typical range for high schools. By addressing the uneven academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, as well as supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students, the school and district can work to improve outcomes for all learners.
