The most represented ethnicity among Madison County district's students was Black, accounting for 46.7% of the student population, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Of the 2,418 students attending Madison County district schools, 46.7% were Black. White students were the second largest ethnicity in Madison County district (43.3%).

In the previous school year, black students were the most common group in Madison County district, representing 46.9% of the student body.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county increased by 2% when compared to the previous year.

Florida's choice to stick with in-person classes during the pandemic may have shielded students from significant learning setbacks. A recent Harvard study highlighted that districts heavily reliant on remote learning saw the most significant declines in student achievement amid the COVID-19 crisis.

“Interestingly, gaps in math achievement by race and school poverty did not widen in school districts in states such as Texas and Florida and elsewhere that remained largely in-person,” said Thomas Kane, professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
