The clearest finding for families is that Madison Meadows School stands well above the other schools and the state in both subjects, with strength across its reported grades.

Madison Meadows School leads with 60% proficiency in English and 43% in math—19 and 10 points above the state, respectively.

SchoolDigger’s ranking histories show mixed movement, rather than a shared upward trend: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Madison rose from the 70th to the 77th percentile and Clarendon from the 22nd to the 27th, while Osborn fell from the 21st to the 12th and Phoenix College Preparatory Academy from the 52nd to the 34th. Enrollment and staffing ratios do not follow a simple pattern: Madison has the largest enrollment, 846, and the highest reported ratio, 20.4 students per teacher, yet leads academically; Clarendon and Osborn have similar enrollment and ratios, but Clarendon’s scores are higher. The supplied data do not include free- or reduced-price lunch rates, and CPLC’s scores are suppressed; score trends over time cannot be determined from the one year of proficiency results provided.
