Summary:
The Madison School District in Connecticut is home to 5 high-performing schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its consistently strong academic performance, with several standout schools that rank among the top in the state.
The Walter C. Polson Middle School is a standout, consistently ranking #3 out of 252 middle schools in Connecticut and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years. Similarly, Daniel Hand High School is a top performer, ranking #15 out of 141 high schools in the state and boasting an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate.
Across the district, students demonstrate strong academic achievement, with test scores significantly exceeding state averages. However, the district faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the ideal target across all schools. Additionally, while the district invests heavily in its schools, with per-student spending well above the state average, the data does not provide information on equity indicators, raising questions about whether the district is achieving equitable outcomes for all students.
