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.

Madison Academic is a very well organized school that acts very similarly to a private school despite not being one. The academics are great and the environment is friendly. The clubs are the only thing that are somewhat disorganized possibly because they're a new concept at Madison.

I have loved my experience here at Madison. The best part about my school are the teachers they are always here for you when you need them and will help you in any way they can. The downside of the school is not a bad thing its just the work load it is a lot to balance when you are also working a job but its not impossible to manage. I think i would like to see change with the students that go to the school, when the new ones come in they do not care that much and think that this is a game when it really isn't. but i would not change anything about the school or the faculty

Madison academic has pushed my child to reach her highest potential, it has a small home feel, each student is made to feel noticed and important. It has high goals and standards. I would not want my child anywhere but Madison. I have the greatest respect for Janice Epperson as their leader.
