Summary

Rykers' Ridge Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Madison, Indiana, serving 194 students as part of Madison Consolidated Schools, and for 2025–2026 it ranks 596th out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing it in the 41st percentile with a 2-star rating.

The school has followed a rise-and-fall pattern: it climbed from the bottom quartile in 2015–2016 (24th percentile, 1 star) to a peak of 70th percentile and 4 stars in 2021–2022, then declined for three straight years back to 41st percentile. Reading is the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, 26.79% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 35.09% district-wide, and among nearby schools only Anderson Elementary (19.55%) and Canaan Community Academy (20.25%) scored lower. ELA has fallen steadily from 45.83% in 2022–2023. Math, by contrast, is a strength: 52.63% proficiency, above the district's 32.52% and essentially at the state average in both tested grades — third-grade math (53.57%) edges the state's 51.9%, and fourth-grade math (51.72%) is right at the state's 52%. Within the district, only Deputy Elementary (63.83%) does better in math, while Lydia Middleton Elementary (44.44%) and Anderson (18.89%) trail. Still, high-performing neighbors such as South Ripley Elementary, Lexington Elementary, and Graham Creek Elementary outperform Rykers' Ridge in both subjects.

These results come alongside real resource advantages: Rykers' Ridge has the smallest classes among nearby schools (a 12.1 student-teacher ratio) and the second-highest per-student spending ($14,545), and its free/reduced lunch rate (48.97%) is lower than many neighbors. Chronic absenteeism improved from 30.6% to 22.1%, but remains above the state's 16.7%. Science sits mid-pack at 37.93%, slightly above the district but below the state. The priorities are clear: strengthen literacy instruction, keep attendance improving, and understand why strong resources are not yet producing stronger reading results.
