Summary:
The Madison-Virgil school district in Kansas consists of two schools: Madison Elementary and Madison High. The data shows that Madison High is the standout school in the district, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas high schools and outperforming state and district averages on several academic metrics.
Madison High has a strong 89.5% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, indicating the school is effectively supporting students in completing their high school education. In contrast, while Madison Elementary is still performing reasonably well, it does not stand out as strongly, ranking 279th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools. Both schools have similar chronic absenteeism rates of 19.5%, which may be an area for the district to address.
The data also reveals that both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the district may need to consider additional support and resources for students from low-income families. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Madison High compared to Madison Elementary may indicate the district is allocating more resources to the high school to support its stronger academic performance.
