Summary

Madrone Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 363 students in Santa Rosa's Rincon Valley Union Elementary district, a generally high-performing area, and it has shown significant recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

Academically, Madrone has notable strengths and challenges. Its mathematics performance is a relative strength, outperforming the state average and some nearby schools like Manzanita Elementary Charter. However, test scores drop sharply in 5th grade, a more dramatic pattern than at similar schools, and science scores lag behind district peers like Sequoia Elementary. The school has made impressive progress reducing chronic student absenteeism, which correlates with its recent academic gains.

Compared to other schools in its district, Madrone sits in the middle tier, performing better than some charters but below top performers like Austin Creek Elementary. Its year-to-year performance has been more volatile than many neighbors. When looking at schools in the neighboring Santa Rosa Elementary district, such as Proctor Terrace Elementary, Madrone generally holds its own or outperforms them academically.
