Summary

Madison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Massena, New York, with an enrollment of 418 students. The school is part of the Massena Central School District, which is ranked 460 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

According to the key insights, Madison Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on the New York State Assessments, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past several years, from 959 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,763 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school's performance on the assessments is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who have been in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for the past several years.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Massena Central School District, Madison Elementary School appears to be the lowest-performing, with both Nightengale Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School consistently outperforming it on the New York State Assessments and having higher statewide rankings. These findings raise concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education for all students, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, and may indicate a need for additional resources and targeted interventions to support student learning and address the unique needs of the school's student population.
