Madison Elementary School

Congratulations to MADISON for their API Score of 895 (9-point increase from 2010). Little by little with all of us working together, we have made this school better each year. Our principal Mr.Duenas has become more involved and more dedicated to make our school succeed. My kids love coming to Madison, they are eager to be in school and learn new things everyday.

Congratulations to Madison for achieving an API of 886 (an incresae of 23 points from 2009). This gem of a school is richly diverse and the student body mirrors the ethnic composition of LA County. Madison has a 5 star rating from parents which is well deserved. The teachers are personable and seasoned professionals who care deeply about student development & achievement. The administration is strong with high parental involvement. The kindergarten program is both nurturing and academic. Our older daughter LOVED her 4th grade GATE teacher at Madsion and is learning so much already in the 5th grade. Once a Mustang--always a mustang!

Both of my children enjoy going to school and are thriving here. I am very happy to have found a wonderful school that is giving a great education to my children.

I just love this school's diversity. There is a good mix of local and non-neighborhood kids. The socio-economic and cultural backgrounds of the students are diverse, but they get along and do well academically. The teachers are top-notched and experienced. The afterschool care provided by the district is safe and reliable. This school is not snobby and has an involved, caring parents.

Madison Elementary is a great school because of the outstanding teaching ethics that the teachers possess. My children are enjoying academic success because they were/are challenged and encouraged to do their best on a regular basis by the teachers. All of the teachers I have dealt with were accessible and willing to answer any questions or concerns I had. My child that still attends Madison looks forward to going to school every day. There are a lot of opportunities at Madison for parents who like to be involved. I am very grateful for the great education my children have/are receiving from these dedicated teachers.

My son just promoted from Madison. I will miss the school, namely the principal. She is extremely caring and went to great lengths to help me with my son. She always took the time to listen to me no matter how busy she may have been. She has made all students welcome at the school which wasn't the case when I first started. The PTA, although a great group, needs to eliminate the negative parents on the board.

I have 2 kids that attend Madison. My youngest is in the 1st grade and my oldest in the 5th. Both children are very different but receive mutual respect from the school principle. The principle understands the parents point of view and her staff (teacher, counselor, volunteers, PTA members etc.). Whenever I have concerns regarding my children academic achievements or social enviornment they are on top of things. I love Madison Elementary School.
