Original Research by School Decision on Madison Highland Prep (91935)
Madison Highland Prep is a single-school district operating as a charter high school in Maricopa County, serving grades nine through twelve. Publicly reported accounts describe it as consistently earning an A rating from the state and maintaining a stable STEM focus, though no specific recent changes with lasting impact were found in available search results. The district consists of one high school bearing the same name.
The school enrolls several hundred students, with a student body that is majority Hispanic, followed by a substantial White population, and smaller shares of students who are Black, Asian, multiracial, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Data on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price meals was not provided, nor were counts of students with disabilities or English learners, so a parent may wish to ask the school directly about economic and specialized support contexts.
Academic performance on state assessments is available for a single recent year, which means there is no trend to assess. In that year, the proficiency rate in English language arts was lower than the proficiency rate in math. Because only one point exists, it is not possible to say whether these results represent an ongoing pattern or a single-year snapshot. No high school graduation rate data appeared in the available records, nor was a comparison to other Maricopa County districts possible on overall proficiency, so a family should confirm graduation outcomes with the school.
Chronic absenteeism, reported at a low rate, places this district in the top quarter of Maricopa County’s districts for regular attendance, a positive sign for student engagement. Per-pupil current spending is above the typical level among county districts, falling in the upper half of the middle range, which may reflect the school’s charter structure and program priorities.
The district has no locale brief attached to it, so the surrounding community context is not described here. A parent considering Madison Highland Prep will want to seek local housing and growth information separately. The school’s own website and direct inquiry would fill in details about course offerings, extracurriculars, and the specific STEM emphasis that public reporting notes. Overall, this is a small, high-performing charter high school with strong attendance and above-average spending, but with academic results that are a single-year measure and missing several pieces of data a family might rely on for a full picture.
