Madison High School is a four-year public high school serving students in ninth to twelfth grades in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Madison Public Schools. The school is located entirely in the borough of Madison. Students from Harding Township attend the school as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[4]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 824 students and 71.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.6:1. There were 63 students (7.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 24 (2.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1] More than 90% of the district's graduates move on to a four-year college, with half of those attending highly competitive schools.[4]

History

[edit]

The school, constructed at a cost of $2.5 million (equivalent to $26.4 million in 2023), opened in September 1958 with an enrollment of 630 students who pledged to ensure that the new building would be kept safe from vandalism.[5][6]

In May 1974, the Harding Township School District was given permission by the State Commissioner of Education to end their sending / receiving relationship with the Morris School District at Morristown High School and begin sending their students to Madison High School starting with the 1975–76 school year, ruling that the withdrawal of the mostly white students from Harding Township would not "cause a disproportionate change in the racial composition of Morristown High School".[7][8]

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 32nd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[9] The school had been ranked 6th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 15th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[10] The magazine ranked the school 35th in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools and was ranked 48th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.[11]
