Summary

Madison Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 694 students in the San Leandro Unified district, standing out for its strong academic results in a community where many families face economic challenges.

The school differentiates itself from nearby schools like McKinley Elementary and Jefferson Elementary through significantly higher test scores, particularly in mathematics where its proficiency rate is more than double the district average. Madison also excels at ensuring students are in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate that has improved dramatically and is now better than both the district and state averages, a key factor in its stable 4-star rating over the past decade.

Notably, Madison achieves these strong outcomes while spending less per student than some lower-performing comparison schools, suggesting highly effective use of resources. The school demonstrates particular strength in supporting English learners and economically disadvantaged students, and its successful practices in fostering high attendance and academic growth offer a valuable model for other schools in the San Leandro Unified district.
