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.

Overall, Madison High School is a good high school. Although I wouldn't say it is the best or least, some areas are better and worse than average. For one, the English department is completely lost however, the math department is phenomenal. Madison is not the best school but is not the worst.

The first year was very difficult, as I did not like the people or the teachers and I was very stressed out even though I did not have a lot of work. However, over the years, I ended up having a blast almost every day, although I hated getting up in the mornings. That being said, and I feel like this is the case for every high school, the teachers could treat the upperclassmen more like adults.

I enjoyed my experience at Madison High School because of the teachers. Almost every teacher I had truly cares about what we learn and what we do. The passion these teachers give out really wants to make you excel and do your best. You can tell they really care about the students, not only the students grades. Most of these teachers were students at Madison High in the past, which shows that they care a lot about the future of our school. Even I have considered coming back and being a teacher for Madison High.
