Madison Elementary School

Posted February 14, 2008

I have two children in Madison. My eldest is reading at a couple grade levels above his own. The staff is friendly and the attmosphere is one of genuine desire to enstill a want for learning and cooperation among all. The new 'Time to Think' room is working toward helping children recognize their own bad behavior and being able to control their own actions with others. Both my kids love to go to school so much that often I have to disappoint them on Saturday mornings in telling them that there's no school on the weekend.

I'm very disappointed in this school. It saddens me that students cannot be kids, creativity is stifled, children do not want to go to school, my child has been miserable 2 of the 3 years he's been there. Staff can be extremely nice or extremely disrespectful and they definitely live by the 'labeling' system instead of trying to redirect children. Once you are considered 'talkative' or wanting to have fun, you are considered unruly and disrespectful with no positive words of encouragement or ways to gain ground in a positive way. This has happened for the last 2 years and many mothers are so frustrated, but no one knows what to do without 'rocking the boat' or creating a worse environment for their children. The superintendent really needs to look at this.

New, attractive school building (only six years old). School ranks well in standardized tests. Capable and well liked staff. Decent lunch program that includes organic vegetable choices. String choir for grades 4 and up. Great reading intervention program. My child went from a 2nd grade reading level in third grade to a fifth grade level in fourth grade.
