MADISON COUNTY, Tenn. — Two schools in the Jackson-Madison County School System have been recognized as Reward Schools by the state of Tennessee. South Side High School receives the honor for the second year in a row, and Madison Academic Magnet High School is included for the fourth year in a row, according to a release from the school system. Reward Schools are those that rank in the top 5 percent statewide for academic achievement and the top 5 percent for annual growth, the release states. This year’s list recognizes 76 schools for overall academic achievement and 85 schools, including South Side, for annual value-added growth, according to the release. The list also names nine schools, including Madison Academic, that earned both designations. “We are proud of the leadership at South Side and Madison, and the great teachers, staff, students and parents of these great schools for this significant accomplishment,” Dr. Verna Ruffin, Superintendent of the Jackson-Madison County School System, states in the release.
