School Overview

Madera South High serves students in Madera, a Central Valley city where agriculture roots run deep and the community takes real pride in its local institutions. Families looking for a school with a tight-knit feel and a range of extracurricular and vocational pathways will find something to work with here, though academics — particularly in math — are an area where students may benefit from extra support outside the classroom. It's a school that reflects the working-class character of its surrounding neighborhood, and families who get involved and advocate for their kids tend to get the most out of what it offers.
