Madison District

The Madison District in Madison, Idaho, is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district's schools serve a diverse student population and face varying levels of academic performance, with some standout schools like Adams Elementary School and Hibbard Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others, like Madison Junior High School and Central High School, struggle with lower test scores and graduation rates.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance across the district, with some schools, like Lincoln Elementary School, performing better than the district and state averages on metrics such as test scores and chronic absenteeism. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with proficiency rates in math and English language arts generally below 50%. The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance, with higher-poverty schools generally having lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.

The Madison District has opportunities for improvement, as evidenced by the declining performance of some schools and the overall district-wide performance. By analyzing these insights and addressing the disparities between schools, the district can work to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background or the school they attend.
