Summary:
The Madison County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Madison County High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and strong performance on some SOL tests, such as 100% proficiency in Algebra I for 10th grade and 97.22% proficiency in Geometry for 9th grade. However, the school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 200-230 out of 326-329 Virginia high schools, and is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. William H. Wetsel Middle School also shows strong performance, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I for 8th grade and relatively strong performance in English Reading.
A key concern across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%, significantly above the state average. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, ranging from $11,063 per student at Madison Primary to $9,069 per student at William H. Wetsel Middle, suggests a need for more equitable resource allocation to support the needs of the district's economically disadvantaged student population. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the Madison County Public Schools district, with some areas of strength but also significant challenges that need to be addressed.
