Summary

Madison County Central School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Madison, Florida, which is part of the Madison District. With 802 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, performing well below state and district averages across key metrics.

One of the most concerning issues at Madison County Central School is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 46.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Greenville Elementary, Pinetta Elementary, and Lee Elementary. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are dismal, with only 18-36% of students proficient, compared to 57% and 50-63% statewide, respectively.

The challenges faced by Madison County Central School are further compounded by its high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.44% to 88.03% over the past few years. Despite this, the school spends between $9,120 and $11,765 per student, which is higher than the nearby schools but still below the state average. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school, which appears to be struggling to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
