Summary:
Madison Consolidated Schools in Indiana serves students in and around the city of Madison, and it has just one high school: Madison Consolidated High School. That school educates 769 students in grades 9–12 at 743 Clifty Dr, Madison, IN 47250. Because it is the only high school in the Madison Consolidated Schools district, the school's high-school results are also the district's high-school results for every reported metric.
The school's standout strength is a sharp recent turnaround. Its latest accountability rank is 100th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 76th percentile with 4 stars — up from 249th of 432 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) two years earlier, a gain of 149 rank positions. Test scores rose across all three reported subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Biology went from 40.44% to 50%, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing from 51.5% to 58.72% (now above the state's 51.9%), and SAT Mathematics from 16.5% to 26.16% (slightly above the state's 25.6%). The graduation rate of 93.0% also exceeds both the district's 92.4% and the state's 89.7%.
The clearest concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism stands at 47.2%, well above the district's 30.6% and nearly three times the state's 16.7%, meaning many students miss substantial instructional time even as graduation and test results improve. For context, 43.17% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,745, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.2. Notably, the district overall is ranked 190th of 374 (49th percentile, 2 stars), which lags the high school's latest standing — likely because the district rank includes elementary and middle schools. Overall, families should see a school improving quickly in rankings and test scores, with attendance as the issue to watch most closely.
