Summary

Madison Middle School in Tallulah, LA, serves 238 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Madison Parish school district, a small school in a community where over 93% of students face economic disadvantage.

Despite its district ranking near the bottom statewide, Madison Middle School shows surprising strengths. It outperforms the nearby Delhi Middle School in every core subject on recent state assessments—25% proficiency in math versus Delhi’s 20%, and 47% in English Language Arts versus Delhi’s 38%. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.6%, far below the state average of 22.5% and Delhi’s 16.7%. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 9.9:1 (compared to Delhi’s 14.4:1), students likely receive more individualized attention, which may contribute to these positive outcomes.

One of the most compelling stories is the dramatic turnaround for special education students, who jumped from the 3rd percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026—the only subgroup at the school to earn stars. However, 7th grade stands out as a weak point, with proficiency rates dropping sharply in both math (16%) and English (28%) compared to 6th and 8th grades. The school’s dropout rate of 2.7% is lower than the state average and far below its district’s 7.8%, suggesting a supportive environment that keeps students engaged through middle school.
