Summary

Madison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 355 students in grades PK-5 in Madison Heights, Michigan. The school is part of the Madison District Public Schools, which is ranked 527 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Madison Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1045-1397 out of around 1500 schools.

The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, with students significantly underperforming state averages in proficiency across all grade levels and subjects tested. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 38.9%, and only 6.8% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 32.9%. Additionally, Madison Elementary has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 55.1% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

When comparing Madison Elementary to nearby schools, such as Hiller Elementary and Edmonson Elementary, both part of the Lamphere Public Schools district, they consistently outperform Madison Elementary by 15-30 percentage points in ELA and Math proficiency. Even the nearby Four Corners Montessori Academy, a public charter school, outperforms Madison Elementary across most academic measures, despite serving a student population with a similar socioeconomic profile.
