Madison County Schools

Summary:

The Madison County School District in Mississippi operates 20 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is highly ranked, coming in at 18 out of 130 school districts in the state and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as top performers, including Madison Middle School, which is ranked #1 out of 266 middle schools in Mississippi and has a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating. Other exceptional schools are Madison Station Elementary, Mannsdale Upper Elementary, and Madison Avenue Upper Elementary, all of which are ranked among the top 12 elementary schools in the state and have 5 out of 5 star ratings.

While the district overall performs well, with high graduation rates and strong test scores, there is significant variation between individual schools. Some schools, like Ridgeland High and Velma Jackson High, have lower proficiency rates compared to the district average. This suggests the need to address disparities and ensure more equitable outcomes across all schools in the Madison County School District.
