Summary

Madison Crossing Elementary is a K-5 school in Canton, MS, serving 761 students in the Madison County Schools district, a high-performing district ranked in the 85th percentile of Mississippi districts. The school itself holds a 4-star rating, ranks 74th of 377 elementary schools statewide (80th percentile), and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.8. About 42.7% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making it one of the more economically diverse elementary schools in Madison County — a contrast to schools like Madison Station Elementary (14.0%) and Mannsdale Elementary (10.9%), while nearby Canton Public Schools elementaries are almost universally high-poverty.

Academically, Madison Crossing consistently beats the Mississippi state average in nearly every tested subject, with 5th grade standing out as a particular strength. In 2025-26, 5th grade ELA proficiency hit 76.5% and science reached 87.4%, both above district averages and competitive with the district's most affluent schools. However, 3rd and 4th grade scores lag the district average by roughly 9–13 points in ELA and math. The school's overall ranking places it below the top tier of Madison County elementaries — Madison Station, Madison Avenue Upper, and Mannsdale Upper all rank in the 96th–98th percentile with 5 stars — but Madison Crossing still outperforms every nearby Canton Public Schools elementary, which rank between the 29th and 60th percentiles.

One of the school's most notable characteristics is its low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.9%, dramatically better than the district's 20.4% and comparable to the district's most affluent schools. This suggests strong family engagement and a positive school climate despite serving a more economically diverse population. Historically, Madison Crossing peaked at 42nd in the state in 2015-16, dipped to 95th in 2018-19, and has stabilized in the 66–86 range since — earning a reliable 4-star rating. For families seeking a solid, well-rounded, relatively diverse elementary with strong attendance and impressive 5th grade results, Madison Crossing is a compelling option, though those prioritizing the district's very highest test scores might look to the Madison Station, Mannsdale Upper, or Madison Avenue Upper campuses.
