Summary:

Rexburg, Idaho is served by 11 schools in the Madison District, educating roughly 5,718 students across 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district ranks 46th out of 101 in Idaho (3 stars, 54th percentile), placing it slightly above the state's middle. Madison Senior High School is the largest school at 1,299 students, while Central High School enrolls just 93. Elementary schools are the clear strength: four of six K-4 schools exceed the state math average, and three exceed the state ELA average.

Adams Elementary School is the standout — the highest-ranked elementary school in the city despite having the highest poverty rate among elementary schools (48.15% free/reduced lunch). It posts 51.9% math and 60.7% ELA proficiency, both well above state averages. Lincoln Elementary School leads the city in math at 58.2%, and Hibbard Elementary School pairs strong results with the lowest poverty rate in its peer group. The secondary level is quite different. Madison Senior High School posts distressingly low proficiency — 12.9% math, 9.0% science, and 13.2% ELA — despite a solid 82.5% graduation rate and only 3.2% chronic absenteeism. Madison Junior High School remains below state averages but is improving in both math and ELA.

The elementary-to-secondary transition shows a dramatic drop-off: top elementary math proficiency is 58.2%, middle school math ranges from 26.8% to 32.4%, and high school math falls to 12.9%. Poverty does not clearly predict performance — Adams proves high-poverty schools can excel, while Madison Senior achieves low scores with a relatively low poverty rate. Spending also doesn't align with results, as Madison Senior spends the most per student yet scores the lowest. Burton Elementary School is trending upward, while Kennedy Elementary School has declined significantly. Madison Middle School stands out in science, exceeding the state average. The district's biggest opportunity lies in understanding why strong elementary success doesn't carry into secondary school.
