I went to Madison from 2019-2022. The level of emotional incompetence from the students, teachers, and admin at this school is on another level. South Tampa elitism outshines anything good I could say about this school and if you have a child who is talented/smart/filled with potential please do not send them here. The STEM program is honestly weakly hidden class segregation and the insensitivity of the kids in STEM should be studied.. What should also be studied is the way the administration and teachers encourage STEM students to put themselves on a pedestal and consistently express their superiority over the “traditional” students- often referred to by teachers/admin as “genpop”, “troubled”, etc. despite being capable children that have been given up on and have zero support system. Despite South Of Gandy hardly being the land of prosperity, parents and consequently children who go to Madison truly believe they were sent by God to improve the world with their presence. If your child is someone with emotional depth they will feel out of place, ostracized, and dissociated from their peers who clearly don’t have parents that actually speak to them and encourage them to have hobbies/interests beyond vaping, gossiping, and bullying those deemed weird. Talking to the vast majority of students there is the equivalent of talking to a badly trained AI. The arts education is lacking severely and extremely underfunded and undervalued, the teachers are clearly stressed, social emotional learning is basically mocked, and the guidance counselors top it all off as a place where motivated and talented minds go to die. Send your gifted child to a school where they will succeed and prosper, NOT Madison.

Did anybody notice the featured student on the bb9 story silent yet flipping the bird at the game? She seems bright and we'll directed. Someone might want to do some damage control before that haunts her. No threat here, just honest concern for her.

My child attended Anderson in 2022, and since then, we relocated to another school district. The elementary school he currently attends is one of the highest-rated public schools in Tampa, and he is performing equally, if not better, achieving honor roll and scoring superior on state exams.My child explained to me that he attributes much of their success to Anderson Elementary School due to its academic excellence and positive classroom environment. He prefers Anderson Elementary School because of the dedicated teachers and the smaller class sizes. He also feels that students at Anderson are better prepared academically.I personally liked Anderson because the staff was friendly and helpful. I simply wanted to share this experience because it clearly highlights how my son's positive personal experience at Anderson outweighs his experience at a highly rated school in the area regardless of what this website may indicate.
