Academically, Madison Junior High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) scores for Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grades. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.6% of students were proficient or better in ISAT Math, compared to the Jefferson County Joint District average of 37.6% and the state average of 42.2%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 36th out of 166 Idaho middle schools in 2009-2010 to 150th out of 164 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.0% to 18.5% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Madison Junior High School's academic performance lags behind that of nearby schools, such as Farnsworth Middle School and Rigby Middle School, which are part of the Jefferson County Joint District. These neighboring schools have consistently outperformed Madison Junior High School on ISAT assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Additionally, the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Madison Junior High School, from 25.36% in 2020-2021 to 30.47% in 2022-2023, may indicate that the school serves a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
