Madison Senior High School up 46 spots statewide this year
Summary:

The 62060 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Madison CUSD 12 district. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently performing below state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates, with no clear standout performers in the area.

The Madison Senior High School has the highest statewide ranking among the three, but still only 10.8% of 11th graders are proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 51.7% and 39.3%. The other two schools, Bernard Long Elementary School and Madison Junior High School, also struggle, with significantly lower test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, well above the state average.

Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $19,647 to $27,742, the schools in the 62060 zip code area are not seeing the desired academic outcomes. This suggests that the challenges these schools face are not solely due to funding, but rather a complex mix of factors, including high poverty levels, with free and reduced lunch rates between 98.28% and 100%. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional quality, student engagement, and support services to drive meaningful and lasting improvements in student success.
