Summary

Madison Elementary is a K–5 school in Blaine, MN, serving 369 students in the Anoka-Hennepin School District. It stands out as a top-quartile Minnesota elementary school: in 2025–2026 it ranks 246th of 869 elementary schools, in the 72nd percentile with 4 stars. That is the highest statewide rank among the nearby schools listed, ahead of same-district peers Eisenhower Elementary and Johnsville Elementary, both at the 68th percentile. The district overall ranks 184th of 458 in Minnesota.

Academically, Madison’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates are above district and state averages in math (58.7%), reading (57.1%), and science (33.8%). Compared with nearby schools, Madison is more balanced: Johnsville Elementary posts higher math (63.0%), and Eisenhower Elementary posts higher science (39.8%), but Madison has stronger reading than Johnsville and a higher overall rank than both. Grade-level highlights include 3rd-grade math at 70.6% and 3rd-grade reading at 58.8%, both well above district and state, plus 4th- and 5th-grade reading above district and state. A relative soft spot is 5th-grade math at 49.4%, below the district’s 52.9% but above the state’s 41.9%.

Madison also has a favorable staffing and poverty profile for the area: its student-teacher ratio is 11.5, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 44.72%, lower than most nearby schools such as Adams Elementary, Hamilton Elementary, and University Avenue Elementary - Aero. The school’s results for several student groups, including English learners and low-income students, have ranked in the top 10% of Minnesota schools in the years provided, suggesting strong support for historically underserved populations. Families should note recent movement: Madison’s statewide percentile slipped from 84 in 2023–2024 to 79 in 2024–2025 and 72 in 2025–2026, and math and science scores have declined from earlier peaks, while reading has been steadier around 57%–62%. Even with that dip, Madison remains a top-quartile, 4-star school and the strongest overall performer in this nearby comparison group.
