Summary:
The Madison Local school district in Ohio is home to three elementary schools: North Elementary School, South Elementary School, and Madison Pre-K. Based on the available data, South Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking higher and outperforming the other schools in academic metrics.
South Elementary School has a state ranking of 494th out of 1,558 elementary schools in Ohio for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to North Elementary's 738th ranking. Students at South Elementary also demonstrate higher test scores across math, English language arts, and science, exceeding the district and state averages. Additionally, South Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.62%) compared to North Elementary (59.83%), suggesting a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
While both North and South Elementary schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 24.7%, the district may want to investigate and address this issue. The per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are similar between the two schools. Overall, the data indicates that Madison Local should examine the factors contributing to South Elementary's success and consider ways to replicate those practices across the district to improve equity and academic outcomes for all students.
