Summary:
The Madisonville Consolidated Independent School District is home to a single middle school, Madisonville J H, which serves 530 students in grades 6 through 8 in a community where nearly 68% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Madisonville J H presents a fascinating mix of exceptional strengths and clear areas for growth. The school’s math program is a standout, particularly in advanced courses. In the 2025-2026 school year, 68.26% of 8th graders were proficient in math, well above the state average of 47.24%, and an incredible 92.68% of students taking Algebra I (an End of Course exam) were proficient, far exceeding the state’s 54.03%. This suggests a highly effective advanced math track. However, general math performance for 6th and 7th graders is closer to the state average, creating a "two-tier" system. Reading performance is also mixed: 8th-grade reading is a clear strength (66.46% proficient vs. 58.69% statewide), but 6th and 7th-grade reading scores often lag behind. The school’s most consistent weakness is 8th-grade Social Studies, where proficiency rates (29.19% in 2025-2026) have fallen below the state average for two consecutive years.
Despite high poverty levels, the school achieves a 0% dropout rate and has shown a slight upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 65th to the 69th percentile over the last three years. The district itself holds a 4-star rating (76th percentile in Texas). A notable anomaly is the 7th-grade math score, which dropped dramatically from 51.23% proficiency in 2024-2025 to just 29.55% in 2025-2026—a 21.68 percentage point swing that warrants investigation. Overall, Madisonville J H excels in accelerating top math students and 8th-grade reading, but needs to focus on improving Social Studies and providing stronger foundational support for younger students in reading and general math.
