High Schools in Madison-Virgil

Madison High is the only high school listed in Madison-Virgil; it serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 106 students. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed against Kansas: proficiency was 52% in ELA and 48% in science, both above state results, while mathematics was 37%, below the state’s 41%. The clearest takeaway is that science is the school’s strongest all-grades subject, while mathematics is its main area of concern.

Because there is only one school, it is both the highest and lowest in the listed group, so there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking. Compared with Kansas, Madison High was 10 percentage points ahead in all-grades science and 6 points ahead in ELA, but 4 points behind in mathematics. Results vary considerably by grade: the school was 28 points above Kansas in 11th-grade science, 19 points ahead in seventh-grade ELA, and 16 points ahead in 10th-grade ELA. In contrast, it was 11 points below the state in seventh-grade mathematics and 6 points below in eighth-grade ELA. These differences show that the all-grades picture does not describe every grade equally.

Across 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, the school’s advantage over Kansas across the three subjects narrowed by about 1 point overall, from 5 points to 4. ELA and science improved relative to the state, but mathematics weakened: Madison’s math proficiency fell 8 points as Kansas rose 2. SchoolDigger gives the Madison-Virgil district four stars and a rank of 65th out of 268; Madison High ranked 56th out of 340 in 2025–2026, after 68th out of 332 the year before. Its SchoolDigger percentile rose from 80 to 84, but remained below 90 in 2023–2024. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 12%, compared with 18% statewide, while the 2023–2024 graduation rate was 88%, compared with 90% statewide.
