Public Grades

Summary

Madison Junior High School is a public middle school in Madison, Maine, serving 152 students in grades 5-8. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores in Mathematics and Science, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Madison Junior High School has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.4% to 67.1% over the past two years, well above the state average and surrounding schools. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates lag behind. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.9% to 75.15% over the past three years, much higher than the surrounding schools.

Interestingly, Madison Junior High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 42 out of 86 Maine middle schools in 2011-2012 to 61 out of 96 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school's performance has declined relative to other middle schools in the state.
