Summary:
Madison Consolidated Schools has just one middle school, Madison Consolidated Junior High School, which serves grades 5–8 and enrolls 728 students at 701 8th St in Madison, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the district, it represents all of the district's middle-level performance, so state comparisons matter more than district-to-school comparisons. The district as a whole ranks 190th of 374 in Indiana, at the 49th percentile with a 2-star rating, while the school itself ranks 182nd of 486 statewide, at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026. About 54% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.6.
The clearest strengths are in the upper grades and in science. Eighth grade ELA is the standout: 60.56% proficient versus 44% statewide, roughly 16.6 percentage points above the state. Eighth grade Math is also above state at 41.11% versus 34.2%. Science improved sharply year over year, rising from 28.74% in 2024–2025 to 41.49% in 2025–2026 — a 12.75-point gain — moving it above the district average of 36.18%. Sixth grade Science, at 41.49%, sits essentially at the state level of 41.2%.
Fifth grade is the biggest weakness. ELA is 20.63% proficient against 42.2% statewide, about 21.6 points below, and Math is 21.69% versus 42%, about 20.3 points below. Social Studies is 34.92% versus 47.2%. All-grades Math, at 30.23%, falls below the district's 32.52%, while all-grades ELA slipped from 45.26% to 39.09% and Math from 36.03% to 30.23%. Chronic absenteeism — 30.8% at the school versus 16.7% statewide — is nearly double the state rate and likely contributes to these weaker results. The school's rank has also drifted downward from 4 stars and the 78th percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and the 63rd percentile now.
