Summary

Madrid Neighborhood School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Alhambra Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, with 602 students. Despite being part of a district ranked 234 out of 289 in the state, Madrid Neighborhood School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 882-1161 out of over 1,200 schools.

The school faces significant challenges, with test scores that consistently fall well below district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14-24% of Madrid students were proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 28-46% at the district level and 27-46% statewide. Additionally, the school has had high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 5.2% to 10.6%, which are significantly higher than the state average. While the school's high percentage of low-income students, with 74.71% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, is a contributing factor, the lack of improvement over time and the performance gaps compared to nearby schools like Joseph Zito Elementary and Academy of Mathematics and Science South indicate that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the school's systemic issues.

Despite the school's challenges, there are some bright spots, such as the school's slightly better performance for African American students, ranking in the top 40% of Arizona schools. However, the school continues to struggle to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. With funding per student in line with nearby schools, the key to improving Madrid Neighborhood School's performance may lie in addressing the underlying systemic issues that have prevented the school from making significant progress over the years.
