GreatSchools Rating
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.

It's a nice and school to go to. Often the staff are kind and will help you out with whatever you need. The arts and music programs are fine, as well as the sports are.

Fort Madison is fine, but it's nothing over the top. They don't offer many honors classes or AP classes. They don't offer a lot of help when it comes to college. About 30% of the teachers really care about their students, the rest just get by. Overall, it's not bad, but it's really not great either.
