Summary

Madison Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27% to 36.4% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Asbury Elementary (30.7%) and Dunloe Elementary (30.7%). The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the 5th-grade science proficiency rate at 41.8% compared to the state average of 63.4% and the district average of 47.1%.

While the school's African American students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years, the school's White, multi-racial, and English Language Learner students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools. The school's spending per student, at $10,787 in 2018-2019, is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 1071 out of 1636 Ohio elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1281 out of 1558 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state.
