Martin Luther King Jr. Middle

Madera is a Central Valley farming community where schools carry a lot of weight in the lives of working families, and Martin Luther King Jr. Middle sits near the bottom of the state rankings — something families in the area will want to factor into their decisions. That said, for families who are civically engaged and looking to supplement with tutoring, community programs, or after-school support, the school's tight-knit community feel can still offer meaningful connections for seventh and eighth graders. Families considering the area should explore all available options within Madera Unified to find the best fit for their child's academic needs.
