Research Madison Station Elementary School Public Schools in Ridgeland, Mississippi

“Madison Station is aw[e]some.”

“This is excellent school! We transferred here from a private school in the area and believe we are receiving a superior education here. Although large my children have receive much personal attention from teachers and have made good friends.”

“This is the best school in the state! The teachers spend countless hours at the school making learning meaningful for each student. Everyone is friendly, the facility is unbelievable and the test scores are out of this world. I love all the arts integration. Anyone in this area that pays for private school is crazy! My children went through all the Madison Schools and were academically and socially prepared for any university.”

“My eldest child attended Madison Station from 1st thru 5th grade, and I have twins that are entering 1st grade this year. Madison Station is safe, friendly, and very well organized. Each teacher is encouraged to use an individualized teaching approach that enables each child to be challenged in their weak places and encouraged to excell in their talent areas. My 11 yr old has performed exceedingly well, and he is currently registered in Advanced Placement english and math for middle school. I credit his teachers at MSE for preparing him. My twins were in separate Kindy classes and both of them left Kindy with the ability to read. They are both avid readers now and look forward to their respective 1st grade classes. We have been Madison Jags since 2001 and do not plan to leave this wonderful school!”

“After one month at Station, we felt compelled to pull our daughter out and pay for expensive private education. Discipline was out of control. Six different disciplinary systems were in place to keep order in the classroom. The students were rewarded for behaving at lunch! Educational materials (including a text book series)available to all other students in her grade were not available to her class. The principal's only response was that she was not legally bound to provide the same materials to every class because it was kindergarten. She was unapologetic, unconcerned, and unfriendly. In addition to my daughter, another child from her class left Station the same day for the same reasons. Our concerns were initially with the classroom situation, but it was the administraion's lack of response that pushed us to leave. We will not return to Station under the current administration, and we cannot recommend the school.”

“Very strong teaching staff and excellent principal. Awarded highest rating under No Child Left Behind standards. Incredible arts integration program that links art to primary subjects. Children AND parents love this school. Tons of opportunities to work with teachers and students in fun activities.”

“Madison Station is a wonderful school for all children. The staff is tremendous and make every one feel at home. No kid is left behind at MSE. Keep up the great work!”

“This is a great school with great teachers and a great principal.”

“I am very pleased that my children are able to go to such a 1st rate school. We have been in private schools in this area, and are very pleased with the quality public education found at Madison Station. The teachers are great, and parents have to compete to help in the classrooms. I have never seen so much parental involvement.”
