year. There are three elementary schools, a junior high, and a high
school within the district. Central Avenue School, King Road School, and
Torey J. Sabatini School all offer classroom space for kindergarten
through fifth grade students. The Madison Junior School was designed for
sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. Madison High School serves

How
Students Performed on State Reading and Math Tests
|
| These state test results show how
well students have mastered reading and math skills in
comparison to state standards. State test results alone
do not convey a complete picture of academic
achievement, and should be viewed with other performance
and demographic information. |

|
How
Students Performed on State Reading and Math Tests over
Time
|
| In addition to comparing student
performance on state tests to other comparison groups,
it is important to compare the district to itself over
time to understand the district's success in increasing
student achievement. |

How Students Performed
on College Entrance Exams (2008)
|
| College entrance exams give an
indication of the degree to which students are preparing
for college. Not all students participate in college
entrance exams, so scores should always be viewed in
combination with participation rates. |

Spending
Summary
|
| Examining spending allocations can
help shed light on a district's priorities. Operating
expenditures represent funds used for the day-to-day
operations of districts, whereas instructional
expenditures represent the subset of funds spent only on
activities dealing directly with teaching and the
classroom. |
|
|
|
Adult
Education Levels
|
| When reviewing a district's
performance, it is also important to learn about the
surrounding community, as there is often a relationship
between a community's income and education levels and
student performance. |
