Summary

Randall Elementary School is a grades 3–5 school with 320 students on Regent Street in Madison, WI, part of the Madison Metropolitan School District. In 2025-2026 it ranks 148th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide (86th percentile, 4 stars), far above its district, which ranks 321st of 432 (1 star). The school’s Forward Exam proficiency beats both district and state in every subject and grade tested, by roughly 19–27 points over the district and 12–23 points over the state, making it one of the strongest schools in a struggling district.

Among eight ranked nearby schools, it is third-strongest, behind Shorewood Hills Elementary and Van Hise Elementary, and clearly ahead of lower-ranked neighbors such as Thoreau Elementary and Stephens Elementary. The most striking comparison is Shorewood Hills Elementary, 1.49 miles away, which has a similar low-income enrollment but ranks 6th statewide versus the school’s 148th; on 5th-grade math, Shorewood Hills Elementary posts 96.3% proficient versus the school’s 66.7%. The school also spends $22,978 per student and has a 14.8 student-teacher ratio, both higher than Shorewood Hills Elementary. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 17.8%, near the state’s 17.3% and well below the district’s 29.6%.

Still, the overall profile hides important gaps. Low-income students rank at the 5th percentile with 0 stars, down from 27th two years earlier; special education students fell from the 90th to 59th percentile, and English learners from 74th to 43rd. The school’s statewide rank has also cooled from 98th percentile in 2020-21 and 2021-22 to 86th in 2025-26. Per-pupil spending rose about 49% while the student-teacher ratio increased from 13.2 to 14.8 and results softened, though this is a correlation, not proof of cause. For parents, the school remains a high-performing option, but the widening gaps for low-income, special education, and English-learner students, plus the slow ranking decline, are the key things to watch.
