Summary

Madrona Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 281 students on Detrick Drive in Grants Pass, Oregon, part of the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District. Statewide, it ranks 414th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025-2026 — 42nd percentile, 2 stars — after a 23-percentile-point single-year jump from a 19th-percentile low in 2024-2025. Most nearby schools also improved, so the gain reflects a regional upswing as well as the school's own rebound.

Madrona's subject profile is unusual: at 36.8% proficient in math and 36.4% in ELA, it is the only nearby school where math outpaces reading. Math beats both the district (29.0%) and state (32.9%) averages, but ELA trails the district (40.2%) and state (43.8%) and every nearby school except Woodland Charter School (29.8%). Science is the sharpest weakness, at 20.0% — 10.6 points below the state. Third grade is a bright spot, with 50.0% ELA and 52.1% math, above both benchmarks, while 4th and 5th grade trail at 29.4% and 29.5% in ELA and 32.7% and 25.0% in math.

Madrona serves the highest-poverty intake in its comparison group, at 98.93% free/reduced lunch, and spends $20,583 per student — up 33% since 2021-22 — yet its 19:1 student-teacher ratio is higher than seven of nine nearby schools. Fruitdale Elementary School offers the sharpest contrast: similar size, spending and poverty profile, but 50% ELA and 50% math with a 15:1 ratio. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 32.7%, below both district and state. Notably, low-income students rank at the 59th percentile — above the school's own 42nd-percentile overall standing.

worse school in southern Oregon, no leadership, from the top down, a lot of bullying in school and on the buses, 380 students and about 40 car spaces, you have to park about 2 blocks and walk to view and school activities, over all just bad, its not a parent friendly school. i will sell and move before my other child goes there, Close Quote
