Cudos to Caroline Franklin for a job well done. I was especially thankful to have the coaching done by teachers. I for one will miss having her there for my child.

Madison Middle School is a Joke... The kids there are not treated with respect and there is major racism in the school. There are NO extra curricular activities and it was horrible for my child he had a not very enjoyable experience. At his new school the food is edible and he likes it very much, and I have come to find out from my friend that these poor kid have to have chicken every day for lunch.. is that not sad.

This school has no more problems than other schools. The attendance policy allows students 7 days a semester without having to make up days. There is an appeal process for excessive absences if there is extreme sickness. A lot of their problems stem from students transfering from nearby systems that have already been in trouble in those schools. If parents were so interested in volunteering, we would have an active PTO.

I moved to madison county so my child would not have to go to the city schools. I wished we had never seen Madison Middle. A child can's miss school without paying to make up days, the buses are a joke, they are not safe at all. No one at the school wants parents to be involved at all, they don't want to hear about the fights and drugs on the school bus. Teachers don't care about the children. My daughter was removed from the school and will not be going back, I feel sorry for the parents who cannot home school or put their child in a private school.

This school has major problems with parental involvement. They do not want it. Gossip is rampant and parents are not treated with due respect, but rather with the 'it's who you are' attitude.

This school has a major communication problem between administration and its teachers. Things called in to the admin office to be told to teachers, evidently never make it out of the office. This school system has also changed policy to make doctor/dental/bereavement unexcused absences. This tells you that they want you to forego your childs health and forget about family deaths, so the school system can cash in on that daily amount of money collected per student from the fed. and state govts.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
