Summary

Madison Elementary in North Highlands, California, serves 754 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Twin Rivers Unified, an area with nearby elementary and TK–8 schools. Attendance is a serious concern: chronic absenteeism reached 44% in 2025–2026, up 19 points from the prior year and well above the state’s 18%. The clearest academic concern is fifth-grade math: Madison scored 16%, the lowest rate among the four nearby K–6 schools.

Mathematics is Madison’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while ELA and science are weaker. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 26.7%, close to the district’s 27.4% and above the nearby K–6 average of 26.1%, though 12 points below the state’s 38%. ELA was 26%, below the district by 10 points, the state by 23 points and nearby peers by 6 points. Science was 16%—5 points below the district, 20 below the state and 10 below nearby peers. There are brighter grade-level results: third-grade math was 37%, 3 points above the district and second-highest among the five K–6 schools.

Although all three subjects rebounded from 2024–2025, Madison’s longer-term state gaps widened between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026: school results fell 7 points in ELA, 3 in math and 15 in science, while state rates rose. SchoolDigger ranked Madison at the 21st percentile, with 1 star (4,588 of 5,804), slightly below the nearby-school average of the 23rd percentile. Its student–teacher ratio was 26 in 2024–2025; the nearby average was 24. Madison reported 94% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with an 88% nearby average. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup measure placed Madison at the 39th percentile for how well it serves Hispanic students in 2025–2026, down from the 62nd percentile in 2023–2024 but above its overall 21st percentile. For Asian students, its measure was at the 1st percentile.
