Summary

MidTown Elementary School in Madison, AL, is a large K-5 school serving 1,097 students as part of the highly-regarded Madison City district, which ranks in the top 10% of Alabama districts. The school consistently earns 4 or 5 stars and currently ranks 64th out of 686 elementary schools statewide (91st percentile), though its historical peak was 14th in the state in 2017-2018.

MidTown stands out for its size—it's the largest elementary school in the district, with about 130 more students than Mill Creek Elementary and nearly double the enrollment of Horizon Elementary. This larger scale comes with a higher student-teacher ratio (17.4:1) compared to peers like Rainbow Elementary and Columbia Elementary, which both sit below 16:1. Academically, the school shines in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates between 80.9% and 89.0% across grades. However, math performance is more uneven, particularly in 5th grade, where proficiency has fluctuated from 58.7% down to 46.5% and back up to 65.2% over recent years. The school also demonstrates notable strengths with specific student groups—its Hispanic students ranked 3rd in the state and its Special Education students ranked 23rd in recent years—though performance with Asian students has dropped sharply from the 68th to the 25th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism has been rising at MidTown, from 3.8% in 2021-2022 to 8.3% in 2024-2025, which is roughly double the rate at nearby Heritage Elementary and Horizon Elementary. While still below the state average of 12%, this trend is worth watching. The school serves a somewhat more economically diverse population (28.9% free/reduced lunch) than most Madison City peers, yet its low-income students perform in the 89th percentile statewide. For context, the contrast with nearby Huntsville City schools is stark—Providence Elementary and Williams Elementary rank in the bottom third of the state, highlighting how district boundaries shape outcomes even for schools in close geographic proximity.

What people are saying

Friday, September 22, 2017

I think there are some serious leadership problems at this school. I'd heard it before and now I've witnessed firsthand that the principal does have her own agenda, and managing her staff to be honest and forthright is not part of it. This school might get high scores, but it's staff sincerely lacks integrity, honesty and respect towards some of it's students. Close Quote
