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.

We have had a positive overall experience with the high school. Caleigh's made some lasting friendships and is ready to move onto her next phase in college to study nursing so she can gain skills to serve others through healthcare.

Overall, the entire experience was unmatched. The staff were helpful and committed to getting kids to where they want to be. I had great teachers and was given great opportunities through Dual Enrollment classes and specialty classes such as service learning. I found what I truly wanted to do with my life and it's all thanks to the opportunities and support I got there.

What I like about Madison County High School is that the teachers are supportive and egar to teach the students. I love madison because It makes me feel like I belong in the school. What I would like to see change is maybe having more clubs and programs outside of school. I feel like if we would have more clubs then more students will be more social with the other students,
