I have 4 kids, 2 that have moved on to middle school, 1 at Madrona, and 1 starting next year. The teachers and staff are fantastic and parent volunteers are wonderful. My kids have been very well prepared for middle school, private and public. What a shame that it had to shut down their great 6th grade. :(
I have been so impressed by this school, the teachers, office staff, and the principal. It is hard to believe it is a public school. The PTA is amazing. The level of involvement of the parents is astounding. You just get a warm fuzzy feeling whenever you are at the school. Everybody cares. I moved here for this school, and I'll stay here for it as long as I can.
I have had 2 children educated at Madrona grade K-6. I couldn't be happier with all of the teachers my children have had, the caring and responsive nature of the staff, as well as the leadership of the principal. I thank all those individuals that have guided my children through their elementary years.
I believe Madronia is one of the best schools available to Parents/children in Thousand Oaks. The most important, in our opinion are programs that help students with reading, math, oral presentations, and Spanish. I am disappointed that more of the money allocated is not toward to these important areas. In the near future, Spanish will be the prodomient language. It is imperative elementary kids are fluent in Spanish and English. Tutors in reading and math were previously non existent. The are getting better, however. It is a shame parents are asked to vote on what $ to divert to: volleyball nets, or educational programs. The teachers are top notch and great with students. The only drawback is availability of educational tutoring, and more focus on todays challenges, not those that are antiquated (computer literacy and Spanish are just two), as well as important tools in todays business world, such as public speaking.
