Summary

Madison Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 406 students in Lakewood, California, as part of the Long Beach Unified school district, and it consistently ranks as a solid, above-average performer in the state.

Academically, the school outperforms both district and state averages in English and Math, and it shows particular strength in effectively supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. A key success story is the school's dramatic improvement in student attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by nearly half over three years to meet the state average, a trend that coincides with its rising academic rankings. While performing well overall, the school faces specific challenges, such as a notable drop in 5th-grade math scores and science proficiency that, while above average, lags behind its strong performance in other core subjects.

When compared to nearby schools, Madison stands out for its consistent performance over time and its effective results relative to its student population. It outperforms other Long Beach Unified schools with similar demographics like Twain Elementary and Riley Elementary, and it significantly outranks higher-poverty schools in the district such as Harte Elementary. The school also performs competitively against schools in neighboring districts like Bellflower Unified and Paramount Unified.
