Families should note recent movement: Madison’s statewide percentile slipped from 84 in 2023–2024 to 79 in 2024–2025 and 72 in 2025–2026, and math and science scores have declined from earlier peaks, while reading has been steadier around 57%–62%. Even with that dip, Madison remains a top-quartile, 4-star school and the strongest overall performer in this nearby comparison group.
