[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Madison lists academic achievement as #1 and then goes on to discuss SBG. This is the worst thing about this school. Athletics should have been #1.[/quote] We were very happy with Madison's academics and how they prepared our DC for success at a T20 college. But it's odd Academics are ranked #1 when it's obvious that sports are what the school truly celebrates. Madison is horrible at celebrating academic achievements of students - there is a very ill-planned academic awards ceremony once a year that is almost like a secret and student names and awards are not shared anywhere outside the ceremony. Considering about 8 kids per year go on to play their sport beyond high school, it's puzzling how much focus the sports program gets. And before you claim sour grapes - DC was a varsity athlete and academically accomplished, so this is something they saw from both sides.[/quote]
