Summary

Madison Elementary is a PK–6 school serving 360 students in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, part of the Stevens Point Area Public School District. Its 2025–26 rank is 414th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 60th percentile, with 3 stars — which is above the district's 51st percentile and the state median. The long-term trend is a real improvement story: from the 34th percentile in 2017–18 and 2018–19, up to a peak of 73rd percentile in 2022–23, then a steady place in the upper half of the state since, settling around the 60th–66th percentile.

English language arts is the school's clearest strength: grades 4, 5, and 6 all exceed district and state proficiency rates, and grade 3 is above the state. Grade 4 social studies is especially strong at 78.43% proficient, compared with the district's 71.17% and the state's 65.51%. Math is uneven. Grade 6 math stands out at 69.57% and grade 4 is above both benchmarks, but grade 3 falls below both, and grade 5 — 41.3% proficient — is well below the district's 50.31% and the state's 51.81%. Among nearby same-district schools, Madison Elementary's rank sits above Washington Elementary, McKinley Center, Kennedy Elementary, Plover-Whiting Elementary, and Roosevelt Elementary; its average grades 3–6 ELA is third behind Bannach Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, and its math average is fourth, behind Bannach, McDill Elementary, and Jefferson.

Chronic absenteeism is Madison's most distinctive challenge. At 20.9% in 2024–25, it is above the district's 17.7% and the state's 17.3%, and higher than every nearby same-district school reviewed here. Madison serves a relatively high-need population — 50.28% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — and attendance is closely tied to academic progress. Resources are substantial: $16,841 per student and a 12.3 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among these schools, yet Bannach and McDill post higher ranks and math averages with lower spending. Subgroup effectiveness has also shifted: male students rank at the 74th percentile (4 stars), up sharply, while female students fell to the 43rd percentile (2 stars) and low-income students declined to the 49th percentile from 66th a year earlier. Special education effectiveness remains near the middle of state results.
