Madison Elementary School

Summary:

Madison Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Madison Heights, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 337. The school is part of the Madison District Public Schools, which is ranked 564 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 40.65% White, 49.85% African American, 3.86% Hispanic, and 2.37% Asian students. This racial composition is notably different from the nearby schools, such as Westview Elementary School and Hiller Elementary School, which tend to have higher percentages of White or Asian students. However, despite this diversity, Madison Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools, with a ranking of 1335 out of 1486 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Another concerning issue at Madison Elementary School is the high and increasing rate of chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.3% in 2020-2021 to 53.9% in 2022-2023. This rate is substantially higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, Madison Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 79.23% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school spends significantly more per student ($21,786 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, this funding and resources alone may not be the primary driver of the school's academic challenges, as other Lamphere Public Schools and Royal Oak Schools districts with similar student populations outperform Madison Elementary School on academic measures.

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.
