Madison High School

Summary:

Madison High School is a public high school located in Mansfield, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 877 students. The school is part of the Madison Local School District, which is ranked 439 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison High School has a predominantly white student population, with 84.83% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Ashland-W Holmes Career Center, which has a 94.99% white student population. The school has consistently high graduation rates, with a 96.8% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Madison High School students generally perform better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and English II. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.8% in the 2019-2020 school year to 40.9% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is a concerning trend.

Despite its strong academic performance, Madison High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 352 out of 769 Ohio high schools in the 2013-2014 school year to 441 out of 864 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges that are impacting its overall performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, Madison High School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.43% in the 2022-2023 school year), which is a proxy for low socioeconomic status and could be a contributing factor to the school's challenges.

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.
