Summary

Madison High in Madison, Kansas, serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 106 students. Its latest results show a clear split by subject: English language arts (ELA) and science are strengths, while math is the most important current concern, with 37% proficient—4 points below the state and 7 below its district.

In 2025–26, Madison led nearby schools in ELA and science. ELA proficiency was 52%, compared with 46% statewide and 48% in the Madison-Virgil district; it was 14 points above the other nearby schools’ average of 38%. Science was 48%, 10 points above the state, though 2 points below the district; it exceeded the nearby-school average of 36% by 13 points. Math was 37%, below the nearby average of 42% and well behind Olpe Junior/Senior High School at 55%. Madison’s math result was close to Hartford Junior/Senior High School’s 37.3%.

Over the longer term, results have improved, but math has recently slipped: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 35 points, science 26, and math 26; however, math fell 8 points in the latest year, while ELA gained 5 and science gained 2. SchoolDigger ranked Madison 56th of 340 Kansas schools, at the 84th percentile with four stars in 2025–26; its percentile has varied, from 22nd in 2022–23 to 90th in 2023–24. The student-teacher ratio was 8.1, below the nearby-school average of 9.2, and 58% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch—context that does not explain results. Chronic absenteeism was 12%, below the state’s 18% and nearby-school average of 19%; the latest graduation rate was 88%, compared with 90% statewide. With 106 students, rates may shift noticeably when the results of a small number of students change.
