Summary:
Zip code 83440 contains 7 schools in the Madison District, including six regular elementary schools serving grades PK/K through 4 and the Madison Early Childhood Center, a PK–K program. The six regular schools enroll about 2,090 students, and the district itself ranks in the 54th percentile statewide.
Among the elementary schools, Adams Elementary School stands out as the highest ranked (112th in Idaho) with the best ELA proficiency (60.7%) and strong math (51.9%), despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate. Lincoln Elementary School leads in math (58.2%) and has the lowest chronic absenteeism. Hibbard Elementary School achieves strong results with the lowest spending per student ($6,209) and smallest class sizes. On the other end, Kennedy Elementary School and South Fork Elementary are the lowest ranked (278th and 279th) with math proficiency below 38% and ELA below 43%.
Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide issue—every school exceeds the state average of 13.8%, with Kennedy highest at 18.1%. Spending does not clearly tie to performance: Burton Elementary School spends the most ($7,538) but ranks mid-pack, while Hibbard spends least and performs well. Grade-level patterns vary, and year-over-year trends show mixed changes, including a notable math decline at Hibbard and improvement at Burton. Overall, the area’s six K-4 schools outperform the district average in both subjects, with math also above state average, but ELA trails the state.
