Education

Madeira High School

Madeira City Schools

Since 1923, Madeira City Schools have been recognized statewide for excellence. Last fall, Madeira City Schools celebrated its 100th anniversary of providing quality education and active community support that helps every student reach their full potential, both in and out of the classroom. The district has consistently ranked among the top in the state and the nation for academic performance. At least 90 percent of the student body took at least one Advanced Placement exam in 2020 and nearly 40 students graduated with a grade point average of 4.0 or higher. As part of the District’s Permanent Improvement Plan, the high school recently completed renovations to the Commons building. Students will also benefit from a new and improved Medert Auditorium, which provides a state-of-the-art space for both Madeira students and members of the community. Want to help further the district’s mission of academic excellence and student support? The Madeira Schools Foundation is entirely volunteer-run and ensures MCS students are equipped with the resources and opportunities they need to excel. The $2 million raised by the Foundation over the past 20 years has provided scholarships, computers, science labs, athletic facilities, and more.

ST. GERTRUDE SCHOOL

St. Gertrude has been delivering academic excellence to students from 21 different school districts since 1934. Following the Dominican tradition, the school places an emphasis on preaching the truth, practicing virtue, and loving one another in Christ. St. Gertrude offers exceptional K–8 education with a faculty dedicated not only to time-honored Catholic schooling but also to faith formation and the development of God-given talents. The school provides students with individual attention in the classroom—an average homeroom has just 20 students and the student-to-teacher ratio is 13:1. At St. Gertrude, each child is encouraged to explore their interests in academics, arts, and athletics to discover their passions and develop lifelong skills.
