Madison Elementary School

Summary:

Madison Elementary School is a public elementary school in Olympia, Washington, serving 197 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Olympia School District, which is ranked 45 out of 247 districts in the state.

While Madison Elementary has a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and Asian students, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts and SBAC/Math are below 50%, compared to the Olympia School District's rates of over 60% and 50%, respectively. However, the school's performance in WCAS/Science is stronger, with a 66.67% proficiency rate, higher than the district and state. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, at around 12 students per teacher, but its spending per student has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from $9,472 to $17,769.

Compared to other elementary schools in the area, such as Centennial Elementary and Michael T Simmons Elementary, Madison Elementary School generally performs below average in academic proficiency, with the exception of its strong performance in WCAS/Science. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 169th out of 1,054 Washington elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 660th out of 1,168 in 2023-2024, suggests that its academic performance has not kept pace with improvements seen in other schools across the state.

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.
