The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I do love my school, however we don't have as many opportunities as other schools in our district. If we do, our councilors do not share them with the student body as much as they should.

Madison Southern High School is a decent school. I enjoyed my time enrolled there; I enjoyed my classes as well. Something I would like to see change is how the guidance office prepares students for college and their communication with students about the opportunities they have. It seems that they just assume students know what they are doing. Some staff was more helpful than others but there is not a whole lot of guidance going on.
