Summary

Madison Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lombard, Illinois, serving 484 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Lombard School District 44, which is ranked 299 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Madison Elementary School has seen improvements in per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains a significant concern. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 49.8%, compared to 55.7% for the district and 53.1% for the state, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 33.8%, compared to 44% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment for 5th grade is also below the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools within the Lombard School District 44, such as Manor Hill Elementary and Pleasant Lane Elementary, Madison Elementary School consistently underperforms in academic proficiency, student group performance, and other key metrics. The performance gap becomes even more pronounced when compared to schools outside the district, such as Benjamin Franklin Elementary in the Glen Ellyn School District 41, which consistently outperforms Madison Elementary School across all academic measures.
