Great high school the school really shows you how the real world is going to be like when you on your own and how you need
to try to prepare for your life changing
career.
The only downside to this school is that the administration need to be more prepared and professional when it comes to helping students definitely the senior who are stepping into adulthood and not wait until the last minute to tell us some important information that you will need for college or going into the work force .

My experience after all what pretty good. Teachers are mostly nice as long as you don’t upset them of course. Students a great as long as you know to choose the right people to hang around with. The school is great itself. The building is really big and has a lot of classrooms and offices. We have a big field in the back and it has a track space and it’s also really big. On my freshman year for lunch they would let us eat outside and walk around track and some students would go play in the field. They stopped doing that for a good while because of all the chaos going around and the threats. But sometimes they reward us when the students are doing good in school. The lunch is really decent. It’s healthy of course. What I do like is that they do give us chips sometimes and they are good. They also have a little student store where they have some snacks and drinks which a lot of people go to buy there, i would find myself going there a couple of times.Overall madison is great i would say.
I would like to see it run by someone knowledgeable of the youth and not treat us like we're in a prison. High School is supposed to be fun but it is not due to an old school administration. Enrollment is down and students are just doing what they have to do to get the day over with. Moral is very low.
