What Parents Should Know
At 139 students, Madison Senior High School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 7:1 students to teachers, Madison Senior High School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
73% of students at Madison Senior High School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
