Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Madison Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Iowa elementary schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has struggled with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 42.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Madison Elementary to other nearby schools in the Davenport district, such as Wilson Elementary, Harrison Elementary, and Eisenhower Elementary, it consistently underperforms, with significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic factors affecting the student population, will be crucial for improving the school's performance and providing a quality education for its students.
