Summary

Madison Middle School in Trumbull, CT, serves 857 students in grades 6–8 and is part of the Trumbull School District, a highly regarded district ranked 23rd of 153 in Connecticut. The school is a strong performer overall, ranking 38th of 258 middle schools statewide in 2025–26, which places it in the 85th percentile and earns it 4 stars. Madison has earned 5-star ratings several times over the past decade, though its rank has settled into the 30–38 range in recent years after peaking at 17th statewide in 2016–17.

Academically, Madison exceeds state averages in every grade and subject. ELA is a particular strength, with 7th grade proficiency at 80.9%. However, math trails the district average across all three grade levels, with the 8th grade gap most notable at 61.6% versus 68.7% districtwide. One of the school's most distinctive strengths is its exceptional outcomes for Hispanic and low-income students, who have ranked in the top 10 statewide for three consecutive years. A comparison with Hillcrest Middle School, the district's other middle school, is striking: the two schools serve similar populations, yet Hillcrest outperforms Madison in nearly every measure, including an 8th grade math gap of 15 points.

Madison's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.1% is well below the state average of 16.4%, but it is above the Trumbull district's 5.8% and more than double Hillcrest's 4.1%. The school's student–teacher ratio of 14.3 is also higher than most nearby peers. Compared with nearby Stratford schools, including Harry B. Flood Middle School and David Wooster Middle School, Madison is far ahead in proficiency and attendance. However, against elite regional schools such as Weston Middle School, Coleytown Middle School, and Helen Keller Middle School, Madison holds its own in ELA but trails noticeably in math and science. Reducing chronic absenteeism and strengthening math instruction are the clearest opportunities for improvement.
