Summary

Madison Park Elementary School serves 328 students in grades K–5 in Parlin, within the Old Bridge Township School District, and is part of a local group of schools with varied sizes and results. Its clearest strength is English Language Arts (ELA) in grades 3 and 4, where it had the strongest results among nearby schools serving those grades.

Results vary by subject and grade: Madison Park’s grade 3 and 4 ELA scores were 66% and 57%, respectively, above both state and district results and ahead of nearby schools. Its grade 5 ELA score was 60%—above the state, but below the district and nearby-school average. In math, grade 3 was below the nearby average (52% versus 58%), while grades 4 and 5 were above it. Grade 5 science was just above the nearby average (28% versus 28%), but below the district (33%). Across grades, ELA averaged 61%, compared with 49% statewide and 58% districtwide; math averaged 54%, below the district’s 59% but above the state’s 47%. Science was the weakest subject relative to the district. All reported grade-and-subject results were above the state. Among nearby schools, Madison Park’s SchoolDigger standing is fourth; Truman is higher, at the 72nd percentile and 4 stars.

Over time, ELA has been broadly steady and math has edged up, while science has weakened: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, the averages moved from 61% to 61% in ELA, 53% to 54% in math, and 31% to 28% in science. Science fell 8 points in the latest year, though it remains just above the state result. SchoolDigger places Madison Park at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars overall for 2025–2026. Its student-teacher ratio was 11.2 in 2024–2025, among the lowest nearby, and chronic absenteeism was 10%, below the district’s 13% and state’s 14%. In 2024–2025, 39% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 43%.
