Madison Academic Magnet High School is a public high school in the Jackson Madison County School System located on Allen Avenue, in Jackson, Tennessee. The building was erected in 1928 as Jackson High School and underwent extensive renovations during the summer of 2003.^[2] The school was started in the autumn of 2003, replacing the former west campus of Jackson Central-Merry High School. The school is academically selective with each graduating class having no more than 125 students, and does not offer special education classes. It is ranked #15 in Best High Schools in Tennessee according to U.S. News & World Report.^[3]

The principal of Madison Academic is Chad Guthrie. The school's course offerings are honors and college-prep courses. Although students do apply for admission, no academic criteria influences selection, as selection is through a lottery system. Once enrolled, students must maintain a C average to remain at the school.

Many Madison Academic graduates go on study at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville, University of Memphis, and other schools in the state and region. Although Madison Academic counts alumni in notable schools throughout the country including Yale University, Columbia University, Cornell University, New York University, the University of British Columbia, the U.S. Naval Academy, University of Southern California, Vanderbilt University, and Washington University in St. Louis among others.

As of 2021, Madison Academic Magnet High School is reportedly obtaining a new building that is slated to open in October of 2021 on the University of Memphis Lambuth's campus.
