Madison Metropolitan School District


Summary:

The Madison Metropolitan School District encompasses 53 schools, including 33 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students across a range of performance levels.

The district is home to several standout schools, such as Shorewood Hills Elementary, ranked 7th out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools and rated 5 out of 5 stars, with 80-90% of students proficient or better in core subjects.

This disparity suggests the need for the district to address the factors contributing to these achievement gaps.
