Hi, I have gone to this school for over 2 years and this is my review. I have lived in Madison ever since I was born and loved it. As I got older, kids started getting ruder and ruder. In middle school (mjs) kids are out of control. I got bullied a lot for having curly hair, and not being white. The diversity is crazy bad. The school does not fund enough to school activities. The winter play was horrible and the spring musical was not great. The school was not horrible but that is because I made a couple of friends. Bullying is a huge problem, kids there start drama and bully everyone for no exact reason. I am now switching schools because I would like more diversity, less bullying, and a better school system.

Our experience with our 2 children has been great under both administrations. Neither kid has mainstream interests, but still found their own diverse group. They have ADHD and the teachers are responsive to the plans put in place and/or check in when the kids get disorganized or start to forget homework assignments. We've been very happy, having moved OUT of one of the best performing schools in the state. Our kids IQ have been tested at the top 1% for their ages . So they are very smart, but we chose to move away from the overly stressed school districts. We also appreciate the economic diversity, and while the school is still mostly white, my children have friends of different races and /or nationalities.

My daughter is in 7th grade and seems to be receiving very good instruction. The advanced math she is doing is ahead of the material I was receiving in advanced math when I was in 7th grade. Her teachers seem enthusiastic and engaged.

School has gone down hill fast after Ms. Sherrin left. Kids are mean right in the open, teachers are apathetic about it, and the environment is not inclusive.

My son moved from a much larger school district where he was one of 450 children. Essentialy he was just a number. In Madisin he is one of 200 students in his grade. The teachers take personal interest in his success and growth (academically and emotionally). Involvement in my son'd succcess extends to administrative staff. They get involved in the childrens daily activity and don't just push paper around. The Madison school system is a reminder of what a public school can be when the teachers and staff work together for the children's best interest.
