Summary:
ZIP code 53719 contains just one public elementary school in this data set — Cesar Chavez Elementary — serving 631 students in grades PK–5 at 3502 Maple Grove Dr in Madison, part of the Madison Metropolitan School District, so there is no other school in the ZIP to compare it with.
On its own, the school shows steady improvement. Its state rank rose from 762 of 1,061 schools (28th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 to 557 of 1,039 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, and every reported subject and grade improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 — the biggest gains were 4th-grade science (+13.55 points), 5th-grade ELA (+10.79), and 3rd-grade math (+8.48). In 2025–2026 it scored above district averages in every subject and grade, and above the state in ELA grades 3–5, 4th-grade science, and 4th-grade social studies. Math is the exception: average proficiency of 48.60% beats the district (45.09%) but trails the state (53.14%). Chronic absenteeism was 17.8% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 29.6% and nearly level with the state's 17.3%. For context, 32.33% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, spending is $17,710 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 12:1.
For parents, the practical picture is a school that is improving quickly and whose relative strengths are ELA, science, social studies, and attendance, while math remains the area to watch — it is gaining, but still lands below the state average in grades 3, 4, and 5. Notably, the school's 2-star, 46th-percentile standing is stronger than its district's overall position (321 of 432 districts, 26th percentile, 1 star), which suggests it is outperforming its district's typical results even though local comparison data within the ZIP is unavailable.
