The school is part of the San Leandro Unified School District, which is ranked 918 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Madison Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30% of California elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 55.89% of Madison Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.68% for the San Leandro Unified School District and 47.04% for the state of California. In Mathematics, 56.87% of Madison Elementary students were proficient or better, compared to 25.81% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Madison Elementary also performs particularly well for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 20% and top 15% of California elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups.

While Madison Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch at 64.18%, the school outperforms the other elementary schools in the San Leandro Unified School District, as well as the nearby schools in the San Lorenzo Unified School District, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. For example, McKinley Elementary, the closest school to Madison, has significantly lower proficiency rates, with only 36.49% of students proficient or better in ELA and 30.63% in Mathematics. This consistent academic achievement, particularly in the face of challenges related to chronic absenteeism and a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, is a testament to the effectiveness of Madison Elementary's educational programs and the dedication of its staff.

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.
