Summary:

Madison County Schools in Mississippi serves 11 elementary schools enrolling 5,611 students across a variety of grade configurations, including K-5 schools like Madison Station Elementary and Madison Crossing Elementary, PK-5 schools like Luther Branson Elementary and East Flora Elementary, and split campuses where Mannsdale Elementary School feeds Mannsdale Upper Elementary and Madison Avenue Elementary K2 feeds Madison Avenue Upper. The district is rated 4 stars and ranks 20th of 134 districts statewide (85th percentile), exceeding state averages in every subject and grade on the 2025-2026 MAAP assessments, but school rankings range widely from #6 to #204 out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools.

Madison Station Elementary is the district's clear academic leader, ranked 6th statewide (98th percentile) and the only school exceeding district averages in all seven subject/grade combinations despite being the largest school with 980 students. Madison Avenue Upper is equally impressive at 7th statewide, posting the district's highest 3rd-grade math (91.3%) and 5th-grade science (90.0%) scores. Mannsdale Upper Elementary earns 5 stars with a 15th-place ranking, and Luther Branson Elementary is the district's overperformer — despite a 95.36% free/reduced lunch rate, it ranks 57th with 4 stars, outperforms the state in 6 of 7 subject/grade combinations, and keeps chronic absenteeism at just 10.0%.

At the other end, East Flora Elementary (204th) and Highland Elementary School (192nd) struggle with high poverty, chronic absenteeism (25.1% and 16.0%), and math proficiency well below state averages. Camden Elementary faces similar challenges despite a strong 87.5% 5th-grade science score, and its 99-student enrollment creates dramatic year-to-year test swings. Among K-2 schools, Ann E. Smith Elementary shows early warning signs with 76.92% poverty and 17.3% chronic absenteeism — trends that later emerge at Highland. District-wide, 5th-grade science is a clear strength (83.9% vs. 71.5% statewide), while math is the biggest weakness at lower-performing schools. Notably, smaller classes do not guarantee success: Camden (6.7:1) and East Flora (10.5:1) rank lowest, while Madison Station (15.3:1) succeeds with larger classes.
