Summary

Madison Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 754 students in North Highlands, part of the Twin Rivers Unified School District, which faces significant academic challenges with a current 1-star state rating.

The school's academic performance has declined sharply in recent years, now ranking in the bottom 15% of California schools, with only about 23% of students proficient in math and 22% in English. This drop is more severe than at nearby schools like Frontier Elementary or Pioneer Tk-8, which have maintained more stable rankings. A relative strength is Spanish Language Arts, where student performance exceeds both district and state averages, contrasting with the low scores in core English subjects.

While the school has successfully reduced chronic student absenteeism from pandemic highs, this improved attendance has not yet led to better test scores. Madison spends a similar amount per student as some higher-performing neighboring schools, raising questions about how resources are used for classroom instruction. Performance in math is notably weaker in the upper grades, suggesting a need for focused support as students advance.
