Madison County School District

Summary:

The Madison County School District in Mississippi operates 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 17 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Madison Middle School is ranked #1 out of 264 middle schools in Mississippi and rated 5 stars, with exceptional test scores. Madison Station Elementary and Mannsdale Upper Elementary are both ranked in the top 12 out of 390 elementary schools and also rated 5 stars, with very high proficiency rates. Madison Avenue Upper Elementary is another standout, ranked #7 out of 390 elementary schools with outstanding test scores.

However, the district also has a clear divide between its highest-performing and lowest-performing schools. While the top-tier schools are producing exceptional results, the lower-performing schools struggle, with student demographics and economic disadvantage appearing to be key factors. Addressing these achievement gaps should be a priority for the Madison County School District.
