Madison Middle School is the clear leader, having ranked #1 in Mississippi for three consecutive years (2023–2024 through 2025–2026). It posts remarkable results, including 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Biology end-of-course exams in 2025–2026, and 8th grade math proficiency of 88.0% compared to a state average of 51.4%.
