Summary:
Madison Local in Ohio serves about 2,501 students across four schools — two elementary schools (grades K–5), one middle school (grades 6–8), and one high school (grades 9–12) — and the district is ranked 335 out of 773 in the state, placing it at the 57th percentile with 3 stars. Every school currently holds a 3-star rating, so no one building is dramatically ahead or behind the others in the state's overall ranking.
Academically, South Elementary School is the strongest performer, ranking in the 66th percentile with 5th grade math, science, and ELA scores well above the state, though its rating has slipped from 4 stars in 2023–2024. Madison Middle School posts the district's single most striking result: Algebra I proficiency at 96.6% this year versus 61.6% statewide. North Elementary School has strong 5th grade outcomes but trails South, while Madison High School improved broadly — Geometry jumped from 36.2% to 57.8% proficiency — yet still sits slightly below state in English II and Biology.
Attendance is where the schools differ most. North Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 13.5%, and South Elementary School is close behind at 15.1%, both better than the district's 20.1%. Madison High School is the outlier at 29.7%. Notably, North has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (58.92%) but the lowest absenteeism. Both elementaries struggle in 3rd grade math — around 55% versus the state's 62.1% — yet shine in 5th grade math.
