Summary:
The 66860 listing covers two schools in Madison-Virgil, serving PK through grade 12: Madison Elementary serves PK–6 and enrolls 130 students, while Madison High serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 106. The clearest shared strength is science: proficiency is 54% at Elementary and 48% at High, compared with 38% statewide. Both schools are above the state, by 16 and 10 percentage points, respectively, making science the strongest common result.
The schools lead in different subjects rather than one standing out across the board. High has the stronger all-grades English language arts (ELA) result, at 52% versus Elementary’s 45%, a 7-point gap; High is 6 points above the state, while Elementary is 1 point below. Elementary leads mathematics, with 49% proficiency versus High’s 37%—a 12-point gap—and results 8 points above the state, while High is 4 points below. Elementary also leads science by 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks High 56th of 340 Kansas high schools, in the 84th percentile with 4 stars; Elementary ranks 295th of 657 elementary schools, in the 55th percentile with 3 stars. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades results are not grade-matched; SchoolDigger ranks each within its own school type.
Recent results are mixed, with High’s mathematics decline the sharpest concern: its score fell 8 points to 37%, while the state rose 2 points to 41%; Elementary’s mathematics score rose 2 points to 49%. High’s ELA increased 5 points to 52%, while Elementary’s fell 4 points to 45%. Science stayed nearly level at Elementary and rose 2 points at High, while the state result fell 3 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings remain below their 2023–24 percentiles, though High rebounded 4 percentile points in the latest year. As additional context, student–teacher ratios are 10.6 at Elementary and 8.1 at High; free/reduced-lunch rates are 50% and 58%, respectively.
