Summary

Madeley Ranch Elementary in Montgomery, TX, serves 714 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Montgomery Independent School District (Isd). While the school has a strong history of earning top ratings, its most recent performance has slipped, ranking in the 68th percentile—a notable drop from its 91st percentile ranking just a few years ago. This decline sets it apart from nearby district peers like Lone Star Elementary and Stewart Creek Elementary, both currently outperforming it at the 88th percentile.

A key concern is the school's uneven performance across subjects. For example, 4th-grade math scores (64.5% proficient) are well above the district average, but 3rd-grade reading scores (43.6% proficient) fall significantly below both the district and state averages. This gap is unusual and suggests a need for targeted support in early literacy. On a positive note, Madeley Ranch continues to excel with its Special Education students, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide—a strength many schools struggle to achieve. However, the school has seen a sharp decline in outcomes for other student groups, which has contributed to its overall ranking drop.

When comparing Madeley Ranch to similar schools, Keenan Elementary stands out as a direct peer with a comparable student population and poverty rate, yet Keenan consistently achieves higher test scores across nearly every grade and subject. This suggests Madeley Ranch’s recent struggles are school-specific rather than district-wide. For parents, this means Madeley Ranch offers a strong foundation and dedicated support for some students, but the school is currently facing challenges that require attention, particularly in reading and for certain student groups.

Open Quote The lack of communication is laughable at best. The administration is horrible. If you have a concern they will give you every excuse under the sun as to why it's not their issue. They make school wide decisions with no notice to parents and it's either put up or shut up. Very clique-ish among the teachers and the administration. Close Quote

Open Quote They claim to "love the kiddos" so much, yet if one of your children is not in the preferred clique, you're sunk. If your child has an inquisitive mind, he/she is not allowed to ask questions to enhance their knowledge (not that the teachers would know the answers necessarily anyway). "Kiddos" (I hate that term are expected to act like stepford children and little robots with "bubbles in their mouths" and hands behind their backs as they walk down a hallway. "Show me five" is another cafeteria robotic show where the bubbles are again inserted in their mouths and hands go up (five fingers) with a moment of silence. If your child has challenges in the classroom, such as behavioral incidents, it's off to the principal's office. They don't take the time to calm the child and give him/her a chance to discuss the issue. Then it's the dreaded and frequent phone call to the parent. Good luck with having a job and dealing with them asking you to come get your child over every little incident. If they do not like your child, they will take the word of another child when there are no adult witnesses instead of giving the benefit of the doubt to both children involved in a fair manner. This school sucks, and you will find that the good teachers and administration leave to move on to better places. MRE is all about show, who you know, and how low can you go! Can't wait till my little "kiddo" is out of that dump. Close Quote

Open Quote I sent my daughter to this school for four years, and we started to notice problems with her reading. We tried to speak with the teachers and administrators about these problems, and they were no help at all. The answer you will get every time is that it is some how not their fault. The community that this school services will tell you that this school district is one of the best in the state. Don't believe it! Do your own research... This school is now an academically unacceptable school rated by the state of Texas. I'm sure the folks at this school will give you another excuse, as its what they're best at. I had my daughter tested by a private tutor and counselor and found that she was reading at a second grade level!!! It took us two years to reverse the damage done to her education at this school. Beware!!! Close Quote
