Madison Christian School

My children both started Madison Christian in high school. They both went to a small Christian school from K-8. We pulled our first daughter out her junior year and are now doing the same with our second daughter and both were straight A students. The school's new head is unwilling to work with parents. He couldn't even be bothered to respond to our email regarding our concerns and reasons for leaving. There is a lot of talk about all these great things the school will offer but there is little follow through. If your student is more advanced this is not the school for you. There are no honors courses any longer, they stopped allowing CCP credit for core subjects, and there are only 2 AP classes offered. The school admin makes these big changes without any input from parents. Also, the school considers itself nondenominational but is very critical of many widespread Christian denominations. I feel that my kids have fallen behind since attending Madison. The ODE state test results here are right about, or in the case of math, below the state average. They also have eliminated most of their elective courses.

I left after I was suspended for something I didn't do, but the administration wouldn't tell me why I was suspended at first. The first way I found out what I was accused of was that half the student body knew immediately after it occurred. The way that the school handles discipline is very public, which is at least negligent and at worse malicious. I left because after that whole situation, I felt so alienated by my peers because people started to treat me like some sort of freak. Unfortunately, one star is as low as I can review. Save your money and just send your kids to public school.

We absolutely love Madison Christian. Both my kids have been there since kindergarten and I cannot imagine another school for them to be in. They have strict code of conduct and plays high expectations on the children. It's so much better than I had ever expected for my children's school experience. We have always had amazing teachers and Mrs. White does a great job as principal. Turnover is low and the teachers and staff really show that they love what they do and where they work.
