Summary

Madison Park Academy Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 241 students in the Oakland Unified district, located in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school has shown volatility but currently outperforms other nearby Oakland Unified schools like Brookfield Elementary and Esperanza Elementary in English and math proficiency. However, it lags significantly behind schools in neighboring districts such as Washington Elementary in San Leandro Unified. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with nearly half of students missing significant school time, a rate much higher than the state average and a key barrier to improvement.

Notably, Madison Park Academy Elementary demonstrates a real strength in supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the top quartile for this group. The school also spends more per student than its local peers, though this investment does not consistently translate to stronger overall results compared to some lower-spending schools like Cox Academy. The school's performance varies year-to-year, suggesting its effectiveness can improve under the right conditions.
