Outranked 1134 other Indiana Elementary Schools

Madison Consolidated has three elementary schools rank in the nation's top 30 % in the state in a report from U.S. News and World Report.

In a recent report from U.S. News and World Report- Education, three MCS elementary schools earned badge distinction for their continued efforts in student achievement. As noted in a release from USNWR, in order to be a badge-eligible school, public elementary and middle schools ranked in the top 30 % in their state. Schools were assessed partially on their students' proficiencies in math and reading, as measured by their state assessment tests. The other half of the assessment considered factors around the context of the socioeconomic demographics within each school." In other words, the top-ranked schools are high achieving ones that succeeded in education all of their students," the release read. U.S. News has published state rankings for more than 47,000 public elementary schools and more than 23,000 middle schools.

The report goes into great detail on each school, well beyond the ranking itself." The report is a great way to glean a user-friendly,visual look at things we are doing each day with students," shared Dr.Jeff Studebaker. " Our strategic plan had a very intentional,focused academic structure and we are starting to see the payoff of this intentional approach across all buildings."

Along with the state ranking, the report includes test results ( including proficiency and performance rankings) enrollment information, and socioeconomic demographic information." We understand that the education of all students must encompass all aspects of each student's particular situation" Studebaker continued. " We know that goes well beyond the curriculum and the classroom."
