Summary

Madison High School is a public high school in Mansfield, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 in the Madison Local district with 855 students enrolled. In 2025–26 it ranked 522nd of 795 Ohio high schools — the 34th percentile, or 2 stars — while the district placed 407th of 773. The school's rank has slipped recently, from the 49th percentile in both 2022–23 and 2023–24 to 44th in 2024–25 and 34th in 2025–26. In 2024–25, 54.15% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, up from 47.43% in 2022–23, and the student–teacher ratio was 15:1.

Graduation is a clear strength: 98.2% of students graduated in 2025–26, higher than Ashland High School (96.3%), Crestview High School (97.5%), Lucas High School (96.9%) and Mansfield Senior High School (93.7%). Test-score bright spots include American Government, where 82.1% of students were proficient — close to Ontario High School (83.8%) and Lexington High School (81.1%) — and English II at 66.7%, above the state's 62.7%. In overall rank, Madison sits above Mansfield Senior and alternative schools such as Buckeye Community School and Cypress High School, but below Lexington, Ontario, Lucas, Ashland and Crestview.

The bigger concerns are math and science, American History, and attendance. Geometry proficiency was just 32.0% and Algebra I 55.0%, both below the state (43.3% and 61.6%); Biology was 54.2% against the state's 67.0%; and American History fell 10.5 points to 66.3%, below the state's 73.2% after several years above it. Chronic absenteeism was 26.4%, above the district's 20.4% and well above Ontario (9.3%) and Crestview (7.1%). Subgroup results are uneven: the school does relatively well with gifted and talented students but ranks lower for students with disabilities and low-income students, who make up more than half of enrollment.
