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.

This school treats white kids from madison heights one way and black kids from detroit another way. The academics are terrible, and a lot of the teachers are pretty bad. Worse of all, the principals are awful. The principal got on the PA last year and said "I'm going to expel 10 kids this month. have a great day!" and then 10 minutes later got on the PA and said "1 down, 9 to go. Enjoy your day." The principals dont care about the kids and there isnt much to do besides football. stay away for ur own sake, especially if you are black.

Madison High School is a very active school. The school is very small so the athletes that play in some sports are usually the same athletes that play in other sports. Having a sport to play makes the students more dedicated in school. Being able to play a sport is a must for some students so they do their best to show up to school and get good grades.

I have seen such an improvement in this school as a whole over the last few years. 10 years ago, the main focus for this school was athletics and making the teams be the best they could be with not as much focus on academics. Now, the focus has drastically changed, and this can be seen in test score...
