Summary

Madison Elementary School is a public PK-5 school serving about 203 students in the Olympia School District, a well-regarded district in the state.

Academically, Madison has notable strengths in early reading and science, with its third-grade English scores and overall science proficiency often exceeding both district and state averages. However, the school faces a consistent challenge with math, where performance tends to drop in the upper grades, and there is a significant performance gap between male and female students. Compared to other schools in the area, like Garfield Elementary School and Leland P Brown Elementary, Madison achieves stronger academic results despite serving a student population with a similar level of economic need.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Madison is its fluctuating performance from year to year, which is more pronounced than at many nearby schools. While its current ranking is in the middle range for the district, it has historically shown it can achieve excellence, particularly in supporting students from low-income families. When compared to a school like Michael T Simmons Elementary in the Tumwater School District, which has very similar demographics, Madison's results suggest there is room for growth, especially in mathematics.
