Summary

Madrone Elementary serves 363 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Santa Rosa’s Rincon Valley area. In 2025–26, about half of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), and about 45% were proficient in math. Its results are close to state levels overall, but its clearest concern is science: 35% of students were proficient, 8 percentage points below the district and 4 points below the nearby K–6 average.

Compared with nearby K–6 schools, Madrone was stronger in ELA and math but weaker in science: its ELA proficiency was 51% versus a 45% nearby average, math was 45% versus 40%, and science was 35% versus 39%. It ranked fifth among 10 comparable schools in both ELA and math, and fifth among nine in science. Compared with the state, Madrone was 2 points higher in ELA and 7 points higher in math, while science was 1 point lower. Against the Rincon Valley Union Elementary district, math was nearly even and 1 point higher at Madrone; ELA was 2 points lower and science 8 points lower. Fourth-grade ELA stands out as a strength, while fifth- and sixth-grade ELA results lagged state and district rates.

Results have improved overall since 2022–23, though they have fluctuated: ELA rose 5 points to 51%, math rose 3 points to 45%, and science rose 2 points to 35% by 2025–26. SchoolDigger rates Madrone at the 64th statewide percentile with 3 stars, up from the 47th percentile in 2023–24; the district is at the 71st percentile with 4 stars. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 33% in 2021–22 to 12% in 2025–26, below the state rate but 2 points above the district. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19.1, and 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 28th percentile in 2025–26, well below the school’s overall 64th-percentile standing; its Hispanic Students ranking was at the 35th percentile, up from the 12th in 2023–24, but still below the overall ranking.
