Summary:

ZIP code 47250 covers Madison, Indiana, and holds five public schools serving grades PK–12 — three elementary schools (PK–4), one junior high (5–8), and one high school (9–12) — all within Madison Consolidated Schools. Total enrollment is 2,513 students, with the high school (769) and junior high (728) accounting for nearly 60% of that. The district is ranked 190th of 374 in Indiana, at the 49th percentile with 2 stars; that figure is district-level context rather than a ranking of any single school.

The standout is Madison Consolidated High School, which climbed from the 42nd percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 100th of 415, 76th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026; its SAT ERW (58.72) and Math (26.16) now exceed state averages, and its graduation rate is 93.0%. Madison Consolidated Junior High School sits at 182nd of 486 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) with strong 8th-grade results — ELA 60.56% and Math 41.11% versus state 44% and 34.2% — but weak 5th grade, where ELA is 20.63% and Math 21.69% against state rates above 42%. Among elementaries, Lydia Middleton Elementary School is strongest overall (565th of 1,015, 44th percentile), with all-grades Math at 44.44% versus the district's 32.52%. Rykers' Ridge Elementary School posts the top elementary math result at 52.63% but ELA of only 26.79%, below the district's 35.09%. Anderson Elementary School ranks 905th of 1,015 (11th percentile, 1 star), with ELA 19.55%, Math 18.89%, and Science 19.51%, all far below district levels.

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide concern: only Lydia Middleton (9.9%) beats the state's 16.7%, while the junior high (30.8%) and high school (47.2%) are far above both the district's 30.6% and the state rate. Anderson also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (69.73%) and Lydia Middleton the lowest (40.54%). Spending and staffing show no simple link to outcomes: the junior high has the lowest per-student spending ($12,117) yet outranks the elementaries, while Lydia Middleton has the highest student-teacher ratio (17.5) but the best elementary results.
