Summary:

The Madison CUSD 12 district in Illinois serves students from three schools: Bernard Long Elementary School, Madison Senior High School, and Madison Junior High School. The district faces significant challenges, with all three schools performing well below state averages on standardized tests and grappling with high rates of poverty, free/reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism.
