Summary

Madison Academic Magnet High School is a small magnet school in Jackson, TN, serving 483 students in grades 9–12 within the Jackson-Madison County Schools district. Despite sitting in a district ranked in the bottom 5% of Tennessee, Madison is consistently one of the state's top high schools. In 2025-2026, it ranked 29th out of 400 schools statewide (93rd percentile, earning 5 stars), and it has held a 5-star rating in every year of available data since 2014-2015.

Madison's test scores tower over other schools in its district. Proficiency rates in English II (91.3%), US History (80.7%), and Biology I (73.0%) are roughly two to four times higher than at North Side High School, South Side High School, and Liberty Technology Magnet High School. Its closest in-district competitor is Jackson Central-Merry Early College High School, which also posts strong scores but trails Madison in every subject. The only nearby school that ranks higher is South Gibson County High School (#20 statewide), which beats Madison in math but trails in English, history, and biology.

Madison also shines in attendance and graduation. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2% is about half the district's 28.2% and below the state's 18.3%, and the school has historically posted graduation rates near 99–100%. Strong results extend across all student groups, including African American, low-income, and male students, ranking in the 96th–98th percentile statewide. Notably, spending does not explain the success—at about $13,461 per student, Madison spends less than several lower-performing schools in its own district. For parents seeking a high-achieving school environment, Madison is the clear standout in Jackson-Madison County.
