Summary

Madison Middle School serves about 605 students in grades 6–8 in Madison, Ohio, part of the Madison Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 435th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 58th percentile, earning 3 stars; the district ranked 335th of 773, also 3 stars. Its ranking has been strikingly stable, sitting between the 56th and 61st percentile with 3 stars nearly every year since 2020–2021, so this is a school performing somewhat above the state median but not in the top tier.

Test scores show real strengths. Algebra I is a signature: 96.6% of students were proficient in 2025–2026 against 61.6% statewide, after several prior years at 100%. Seventh grade ELA is consistently strong at 73.2% versus 62.7% for Ohio, and seventh grade math also beats the state. Eighth grade science has been above state every recent year (64.7% vs. 61.2%). Attendance is improving too: chronic absenteeism fell to 18.2% in 2025–2026 from 31.2% in 2021–2022, better than the district's 20.1% and better than most nearby schools.

The main weak spot is eighth grade. Math 8 came in at 51.6%, just under the state's 52.0%, and ELA 8 at 54.3% versus 58.3% — the second straight year below state. Class sizes are large (23.2 students per teacher) and 48.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher-poverty, larger-class setting than most higher-performing neighbors. Locally, Perry Middle School (76th percentile, 4 stars) outperforms Madison in most grades, and Chardon Middle School plus Mentor's Shore Middle School and Memorial Middle School rank higher. Madison still outranks Geneva Middle School, Lakeside Junior High School, and Wallace H Braden Middle School. Within the school, special education students rank at the 37th percentile (2 stars), improved from 23rd, while low-income students rank near the school average.
