Madison High School

Madison High School is a four-year public high school serving students in ninth to twelfth grades in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Madison Public Schools. The school is located in the borough of Madison, and a portion of its property extends into the neighboring borough of Florham Park. Students from Harding Township attend the school as part of a sending/receiving relationship. As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 839 students and 69.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.1:1. There were 48 students (5.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 7 (0.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. More than 90% of the district's graduates move on to a four-year college, with half of those attending highly competitive schools. History The school, constructed at a cost of $2.5 million (equivalent to $ million in ), opened in September 1958 with an enrollment of 630 students who pledged to ensure that the new building would be kept safe from vandalism. In May 1974, the Harding Township School District was given permission by the State Commissioner of Education to end their sending / receiving relationship with the Morris School District at Morristown High School and begin sending their students to Madison High School starting with the 1975–76 school year, ruling that the withdrawal of the mostly white students from Harding Township would not "cause a disproportionate change in the racial composition of Morristown High School".
