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.

Doing online school was a struggle. I had a hard time learning math and finding the will to participate. And the people in my school seem either very open minded or very judgmental. I cannot say that I had the easiest making friends and finding a "my place" in the school. I spent a good three years just waiting to graduate.

I believe they have political bias in the teaching, as they do not give coverage to the non socialist parts of the left wing, ignoring the liberal and conservative understandings for teaching. Also they keep changing grading system and have too much grade inflation.

The strategy is as you come in freshmen year, everyone is strict including teachers/staff until you mature. In Junior, Senior you will get to leave early because the lunchroom can't hold a lot of people. By the time you are a senior, you will have a lot of free time and everyone will be nice and cool to you. Some teachers in math are so bad, their answers are from engageny website. But its a good school, I also during middle school, heard that it's a bad school where they have many fights and stuff. But you wont hear of those if you keep your path.

Two of my children graduated from Madison high school. They were well prepared for college and seamlessly transitioned into an engineering curriculum.

Academically the school is great. There are appropriate levels for all kids whether they’re operating at or above standard grade level. Plenty of AP options and teachers are solid; some challenging but overall good for a teenagers growth. There is extra curricular options for all and some really sta...
