Summary

Madison Middle School is a highly-ranked public middle school located in Madison, Mississippi, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 1,146 students. The school is part of the Madison County School District, which is ranked 18 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Mississippi, with a statewide ranking between 1st and 6th place over the past 10 years. The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 72.3% to 78.9% across grades 6-8, compared to the state averages of 37.3% to 46.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 87.2% to 88.8% across grades 6-8, compared to the state averages of 47.5% to 52.9%. The school also achieved 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 99.1% proficiency in Biology, far exceeding the state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Old Town Middle and schools in the Jackson Public School District, Madison Middle School stands out as a clear academic leader. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 23.47% in 2023-2024, and its favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9 in 2023-2024 may be contributing factors to its academic success. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is a concern that the school and district should address.

This is the worst school in this entire metro area! Do not be fooled by the rating! My child has been bullied and sexually harassed relentlessly and the administration just sweeps it under the rug and blames the victim. Even some of the teachers are bullies and the counselors and the principles are completely incompetant. They do not adhere to any of the federal laws regarding students with disabikities, and will not adhere to any type of IEP OR 504 PLAN and discriminate against disabled students. I have watched my child go through shear hell at this school! Close Quote
