Elementary Schools in Madison District Public Schools

Summary:

The Madison District Public Schools system in Michigan operates two elementary schools: Madison Elementary School and Madison District Early Childhood Education Center. Both schools have consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools in recent years.

Neither school stands out as a high-performing institution, with both schools scoring significantly below the state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies. For example, the 3rd-grade proficiency rate in M-Step/English Language Arts at Madison Elementary School was just 12.9% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 38.9%. Additionally, both schools have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with rates exceeding 79%, and chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The financial data suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation, as Madison Elementary School spends $21,454 per student, while the Madison District Early Childhood Education Center spends $18,066 per student. The student-teacher ratio also varies between the two schools, with Madison Elementary School having a ratio of 12.8 and the Madison District Early Childhood Education Center having a ratio of 8.6. Overall, the data suggests that the Madison District Public Schools system faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.
