Summary:
ZIP code 47250 has exactly one high school, Madison Consolidated High School, serving grades 9–12 with 769 students at 743 Clifty Dr, Madison, IN. It is part of Madison Consolidated Schools. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, there is no within-area peer comparison; the focus is its own trends and comparisons with district and state figures.
The school’s most striking trend is a sharp academic turnaround. Its rank rose to 100 out of 415, 76th percentile, 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from 221 out of 429, 48th percentile, 2 stars in 2024–2025, and 249 out of 432, 42nd percentile, 2 stars in 2023–2024. All tested subjects improved: Biology rose from 40.44 to 50 (the state result was not reported for 2025–2026); SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing rose from 51.5 to 58.72, above the state’s 51.9 by 6.82 points; SAT Mathematics rose from 16.5 to 26.16, above the state’s 25.6 by 0.56 points. In 2024–2025, the school was below the state in all three subjects. Graduation rate was 93.0% in 2024–2025, above the district’s 92.4% and the state’s 89.7%.
The main concern is chronic absenteeism: 47.2% in 2024–2025, compared with 30.6% in the district and 16.7% statewide—about 2.8 times the state rate. Economic context includes 43.17% free/reduced lunch participation, per-student spending of $14,745, and a student-teacher ratio of 15.2. The district profile shows rank 190 of 374, 49th percentile, 2 stars, while the school’s own 2025–2026 rank is stronger. Overall, the high school shows a positive academic trajectory, but absenteeism remains a serious challenge that could affect future outcomes.
