Summary

Madison Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 382 students in the Pomona Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall academic ranking places it in the middle of the pack statewide, it shows significant strengths in specific areas, particularly in supporting its most vulnerable students. For example, Madison performs exceptionally well for students experiencing homelessness and outperforms many nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Lincoln Elementary and Lopez Elementary. A notable bright spot is science, where student proficiency exceeds the district average and beats most comparable local schools, including Philadelphia Elementary and Washington Elementary. The school also shows a positive pattern of growth, with sixth graders performing much better than third graders, suggesting effective academic support over time.

The school's biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 30.5% is the highest among the 11 comparable schools analyzed, including Lexington Elementary and Decker Elementary. This presents a major opportunity: if attendance improves, academic results could rise significantly. Compared to the highest-performing nearby school, Westmont Elementary, Madison operates with a similar budget but serves a community with greater economic need and higher absenteeism, making its academic results relatively strong within the district context.
