Madison Elementary School

Summary:

Madison Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Muscatine, Iowa, serving 425 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Muscatine Community School District, which is ranked 274 out of 309 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Madison Elementary School faces some challenges. Its performance on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) is generally lower than the state average and the Muscatine Community School District average across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 56.3% to 64.6%, compared to the state average of 64.2% to 74.5%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 54.2% to 69.5%, compared to the state average of 70.7% to 76.3%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools, with a ranking between 394 and 457 out of 557-574 schools over the past several years, and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One factor that may contribute to the school's academic performance is the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.03% to 56.57% over the past three school years. This suggests a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. When comparing Madison Elementary to the nearby schools within the Muscatine Community School District, it generally performs below the district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. However, it is worth noting that the other schools in the district also struggle academically, with most of them ranking in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools as well.

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.
