Madison Middle consistently outperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with a 2024-2025 ELA proficiency rate of 47.66% compared to 43.65% for Albuquerque and 44.19% for the state.

I really loved it in Madison Middle School, and I really miss it. We did a lot of fun activities, and we learned a lot. I gained a lot of memories there. I'm really sad that I had to leave, and that I didn't get to go into 8th grade, because I flew back to Europe. Close Quote
