Summary:

Zip code 92056 in Oceanside, CA, contains one public middle school, Madison Middle, serving grades 6-8 within the Vista Unified School District.

Madison Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below both its district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only about 37% of students were proficient in English and 23% in math, with scores declining in English as students progress to 8th grade. The school's statewide ranking has also trended downward over recent years, and it maintains a two-star rating out of five.

A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 27.7% is notably higher than the state average. The school serves a student population with high economic need, and despite per-student spending above $16,000, academic outcomes remain below benchmarks. For parents, this indicates the school is navigating substantial hurdles related to student attendance and learning gaps, particularly in mathematics, which are critical factors to consider.
