Summary

Madison High School in San Antonio, TX, is a large public high school serving 2,616 students in grades 9-12 as part of the North East Independent School District (Isd), a solidly above-average district. The school has a diverse student body, with about half qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it consistently ranks as the top-performing traditional high school in its northeast San Antonio cluster, outperforming nearby MacArthur High School and Roosevelt High School in overall state rankings. While its graduation rate of 88.7% is slightly above the district average, the school shows a clear strength in science and history, with proficiency rates in Biology (72%) and U.S. History (75.5%) significantly exceeding state averages.

However, Madison faces notable challenges. Algebra I proficiency, while improving from a low of 14% in 2022-2023 to 45% in 2025-2026, remains far below the district (60.5%) and state (54%) averages, marking a persistent area of weakness. More concerning is a dramatic decline in support for English Language Learners (ELL), with the school's ranking for this subgroup dropping from the 58th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 19th percentile in 2025-2026. Additionally, there is a persistent gender gap, with female students performing at a 3-star level while male students consistently rank lower at a 2-star level, suggesting a systemic challenge in engaging male students academically.

Interestingly, Madison operates with relatively low per-student spending ($8,294) compared to its NEISD peers, yet achieves the highest overall ranking among them, indicating strong operational efficiency. For context, the nearby Judson Early College Academy (JECA) dramatically outperforms Madison in every metric, ranking in the 93rd percentile with a 98.9% graduation rate, but this reflects the difference between a selective magnet school and a comprehensive neighborhood high school. Overall, Madison is a stable, average performer with critical areas for improvement—particularly in Algebra I, ELL support, and male student achievement—that, if addressed, could help it regain its former 4-star status.
