Summary:
Zip code 39110 in Madison, Mississippi, is served by 10 public schools within the Madison County Schools district, enrolling roughly 8,200 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Every school with a current state rank lands in the top 48 of its category, making this one of the strongest public school clusters in Mississippi. Madison Middle School is the clear standout—ranked #1 in the state three years running with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Biology—while Madison Central High School ranks #4 statewide, and Madison Station Elementary, Madison Avenue Upper, and Mannsdale Upper Elementary all sit in the top 15 elementary schools.
Comparisons between the two high schools reveal different strengths. Germantown High School outperforms Madison Central in Algebra I (77.1% vs. 51.7%), Biology (65.6% vs. 45.5%), and graduation rate (97.3% vs. 94.0%), yet Madison Central holds a higher state rank thanks to strong English II and U.S. History scores. Germantown Middle has also risen dramatically, from #25 to #7 in the state, with Algebra I proficiency at 99.1%. Rosa Scott, labeled an alternative school but serving as a 9th-grade academy, posts excellent scores and the lowest student-teacher ratio in the zip code at 10.2:1.
The biggest red flag is high school chronic absenteeism: 42.3% at Madison Central and 40.1% at Germantown High, roughly double the district average of 20.4% and far above the state's 23.9%. Elementary and middle schools, by contrast, run between 5% and 11%. The area is relatively affluent, with a weighted free/reduced lunch rate near 21%, and both high schools exceed state graduation averages. Overall, zip code 39110 offers parents an exceptional range of high-performing schools, with the strongest concerns being high school attendance and Madison Central's unexpectedly low STEM proficiency.
