Madison School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student attendance, and the socioeconomic status of its student population. The school has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 41.0%, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, only 25.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 16% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 28.4% statewide. While Madison School performs poorly overall, it ranks in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools for African American students and in the top 35% for Hispanic students, indicating that it is providing relatively stronger support for these populations compared to its overall performance. However, the school struggles significantly with the performance of its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups.
When comparing Madison School to other nearby elementary schools, several interesting patterns emerge. Schools within the same South Holland School District 151, such as Taft School and Eisenhower School, perform similarly to or slightly better than Madison School, indicating district-wide challenges. Schools in the neighboring Dolton School District 148 and Dolton School District 149 generally perform worse than Madison School, suggesting that Madison School may be one of the stronger schools in the broader South Holland/Dolton area. However, Greenwood Elementary School, which is in a different district (South Holland School District 150) but geographically close, outperforms Madison School on most academic measures, indicating that location and district factors may play a significant role in school performance.
