Madison Middle School Reviews

 
We are disappointed in Madison MS, except for its afterschool programs. Its challenge program is just more of the same -- not particularly challenging or intellectually stimulating. The administrators of the school seem to have very low standards and expectations, both for academics and behavior. There is an authoritarian feel to the school - a sort of lack of faith in the kids - and many of the kids are disrespectful, foul-mouthed, and inappropriate. There are a few teachers who try hard, but what are they going to do with a bunch of kids who are ungrateful, disrespectful, and don't do their homework? Teacher-parent communication is also sadly lacking. The 'good' kids suffer because, as another parent said, the school tends to teach to the lowest common denominator and does not provide an emotionally safe environment.

Madison Middle School is an Okay School but it is lacking. Some teachers need to learn how to control their class, and some need to learn how to teach. Depending on teacher and grade you get a fair amount of homework. The discipline can be strict depending on the teacher. Unfortunately there must be a more creative way of teaching! It's losing student interest.

I have had the chance to work at this school in a long term substitute postion during the 05/06 school year. I was very impressed with the staff, students and particularly with the principal, Dr. Hudson. They are really dedicated to the kids, and work with all the kids to make school a positive experience. As in many urban public schools the staff is asked to be all things to many people and meet a vast array of needs among their students. In this case I think the staff does a great job helping students with emotional, developmental and educational needs. I especially liked that students who were highly capable were challenged appropriately rather than left bored without proper enrichement.

The acedemic program at Madison is mediocre. My daughter is intelligent but needs an education. I feel that Madison has let her down by only teaching to the lowest common denominator. She rarely has homework. Extracurricular activities are prwetty good. There's a good range to choose from, but they are often cancelled for no reason.

I went to madison for 6th,7th,and 8th grade. Now I am a freshman at west seatlle and I would like to thank madison for preparing me for highschool so well. Madison has outstanding teachers,staff,and ptsa!! Everyone is so involved that it gives off a very friendly, comfortable , and safe vibe to students,visitors,and family.All the staff is eagarly awaiting to help any student with anything at any time. If your child is struggling with anything they will notice it within a week and help your student. Madison has exellent afterchool prrograms and sports programs. All the afterschool programs are free and the included snacks are also free. They provide bus transportation after every afrter school program and even after detention. They have a supervised play area for early arriving students that has foosball and other games. I highly reccomend madison for your child.
