This junior high/middle school was built in 1958 for $780,094. It was located at 500 S. Madison at the northeast corner of the half-mile eastside school complex just south of Sooner Park. This 70-acre area was purchased in 1958 for $55,000 and was the site of Madison Middle School/Junior High, Hoover Elementary, and the Sooner High/Bartlesville Mid-High.

Reportedly it was going to be called Eastside Junior High, but cheerleaders helped convince the school board to name it Madison instead. A 1960 addition to the school cost $148,595 and a $462,000 addition was made in 1963.

Madison's gymnasium had an unusual roof design which resembled a ponytail. This junior high was reconfigured into a middle school in 1982, then housing seventh and eighth grades. Sixth graders were added in 1986. A $788,588 bond issue in 1993 added six classrooms and a parking lot and made general renovations. A phone system upgrade occurred in 2000, and the auditorium sound system was replaced. The HVAC system was reworked in 2010-2011.

The late 1950s design was in the style of California's Desert Modernism with freestanding brick walls, thin partition walls, tiny skylit interior courtyards, freestanding connecting corridors, and a great deal of wall glass. 

Over the years light and climate control problems led to many of the windows being filled in and the building did not age well. In September 2013, voters approved a bond issue to consolidate from 4 to 3 secondary schools. Madison's students and staff relocated to the nearby Mid-High campus as Bartleville High School expanded to serve grades 9-12. The former Madison campus was a temporary home for Central Middle School in 2015-2016 while the Central campus was renovated. It was demolished at the end of 2016 and razed in 2017, significantly reducing the district's operating expenses in an era of inadequate state funding for public schools.
