Summary

Madison Elementary School is a K–5 school at 4600 Madison School Dr in Columbus, OH (43232), serving 348 students as part of the Groveport Madison Local district — the smallest of the four Groveport Madison elementaries clustered within about a mile of it. For 2025–2026 it ranks 1,186 of 1,560 Ohio elementaries (24th percentile, 1 star), essentially the same level as its district overall (584th of 773). Ten years of history show steady performance in the low-to-mid 20s–30s percentile band, with a peak of 35th percentile in 2022–23, a low of 18th in 2024–25, and a partial rebound since.

Among nearby schools, Madison is the lowest-ranked of the four district elementaries: Asbury Elementary School (31st percentile), Dunloe Elementary School (28th) and Sedalia Elementary (41st) all rank higher, and all three outscore it in 3rd and 4th grade math — Madison's two largest gaps. Fifth grade math is a genuine strength, beating the district average four years running (50.0% vs. 41.4% in 2025–26). Among non-district neighbors, only Performance Academy Eastland currently outranks Madison (55th percentile, 3 stars), while Liberty Elementary School is the weakest school in the comparison set at the 11th percentile.

2025–26 brought encouraging movement: six of seven tested subjects improved, led by 5th grade ELA (+14.7 points) and 3rd grade ELA (+13.3), and chronic absenteeism fell to 23.7% — its best figure on record and 7.5 points below the district's 31.2%. The school's African American students rank in the 56th percentile statewide (3 stars) and its English Language Learners climbed to the 43rd percentile, both above the school's overall standing, while male students (20th percentile) trail female students (26th). Fourth grade math slipped 9.4 points and, along with 3rd grade math, is the clearest instructional priority. Notably, Madison's reported per-pupil spending was higher than the district peers outscoring it and its classes are smaller (20:1), so the levers here appear to be practice rather than resources.
