Madison Elementary

Summary:

Madison Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fresno, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 420 students. The school is part of the Central Unified School District, which is ranked 896 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.7% in 2018-2019 to 43.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than nearby schools like McKinley Elementary (24.2%) and Hanh Phan Tilley Elementary (29.6%). The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the Central Unified district and the state of California averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Madison Elementary's subgroup performance, such as for female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Madison Elementary, ranging from 74.81% to 86.52% over the past few years, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This could be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population. While Madison Elementary is part of the same school district as higher-performing schools like McKinley Elementary and Hanh Phan Tilley Elementary, its overall performance has steadily declined, indicating opportunities for the school to learn from its counterparts within the district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
