Summary

Madison Middle School is a public middle school serving 606 students in grades 6-8 in Madison, Ohio. The school is part of the Madison Local District, which is ranked 368 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in Ohio State Tests, particularly in 8th grade Science and Algebra I. However, the school's performance in Mathematics, especially in 8th grade, is slightly below the state average. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.5% to 25.9% in recent years. While the school's overall performance is on par with or slightly better than the nearby Jefferson Area Junior High School, it lags behind higher-performing nearby schools, such as Shore Middle School and Memorial Middle School in the Mentor Exempted Village district, which are both 4-star schools.

Madison Middle School's spending per student ($8,387 in 2018-2019) is slightly higher than the state average, but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of around 23:1 is also higher than the nearby top-performing schools, which may be a factor in their academic success. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 35.96% in 2022-2023 to 47.52% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
