Madison Middle School

Public Grades 6-8

Summary

Madison Middle School is a public middle school in Madison, Nebraska, serving 106 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Madison Public Schools district, which is ranked 171 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past decade, Madison Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska middle schools.

The school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.4% to 26.7% in recent years, significantly below-average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.71% to 72.64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school performs well for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, it struggles with lower rankings for female and male students.

Nearby Norfolk Middle School and Norfolk Junior High School, which are part of the Norfolk Public Schools district, also face academic challenges, with test scores and rankings only slightly better than Madison Middle School. This suggests that the issues facing Madison Middle School may be reflective of broader regional or district-level factors that need to be addressed.
