Summary:

Zip code 39110 in Madison, MS is served by two public high schools—Germantown High School (grades 9–12) and Madison Central High School (grades 10–12)—both part of the highly ranked Madison County Schools district, which places 20th out of 134 districts in Mississippi. Combined, these two schools serve about 2,671 students in a relatively affluent area with low free/reduced lunch eligibility (around 22–26%) and favorable student-teacher ratios of roughly 13–15:1.

Madison Central is the standout for overall state ranking: it climbed from 22nd to 4th in Mississippi over three years (98th percentile, 5 stars) and leads in English II (76.2%) and U.S. History (89.3%) proficiency. Germantown, ranked 48th in the state (79th percentile, 4 stars), excels in graduation rate (97.3% vs. 94.0%) and in STEM subjects: Algebra I proficiency is 77.1% versus 51.7% at Madison Central, and Biology is 65.6% versus 45.5%. This creates an unusual split where one school dominates in English/history while the other is clearly stronger in math/science.

The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism: 40.1% at Germantown and 42.3% at Madison Central—roughly double the district (20.4%) and state (23.9%) averages—yet graduation rates remain high. Madison Central's top-5 rank masks below-state-average Algebra I and Biology scores, partly because the school has no 9th grade and likely tests many students taking these courses later or retaking exams. Germantown's rank dipped from 29th to 48th in the latest year, while Madison Central surged to 4th. Parents should weigh each school's distinct strengths: Germantown for STEM and graduation, Madison Central for overall reputation and humanities, while keeping an eye on attendance challenges at both schools.
