Summary

Madras Elementary School is a K–5 school with 384 students in Madras, Oregon, a central Oregon community where nearly all families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is part of Jefferson County School District 509J, which ranks 130th of 141 Oregon districts with 0 stars, and Madras itself ranked 626th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 12th percentile, or 1 star. Rankings have hovered between the 4th and 12th percentile in recent years, with the strongest recent result in 2018–19, at the 24th percentile.

On 2025–26 state tests, 26.6% of Madras students met standards in English language arts, 19.8% in math, and 10.8% in science, compared with statewide rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. The school is above its district's average in ELA and math but below it in science. Fourth grade is the clearest trouble spot: only 10.2% of fourth graders were proficient in math and 18.3% in ELA, far below both district and state. Fifth grade math, at 23.4%, is a relative bright spot, above the district's 18.1%.

Compared with nearby schools, Madras outperforms Warm Springs K-8 Academy and 509J On-Line in ELA and math, but trails Buff Elementary School, Metolius Elementary School, Culver Elementary School, and Terrebonne Community School in nearly every comparable subject — even though Terrebonne and Culver spend less per student ($17,698 and $18,838) than Madras's $22,223. Chronic absenteeism, meanwhile, improved from 47.2% in 2021–22 to 33.0% in 2024–25, now at the state average and below the district's 41.3%. The bottom line: Madras's improving attendance is encouraging, but fourth grade math and ELA, plus science across grade levels, remain the areas to watch.
