I don't want to go into a lot of detail but I will say, if you have the means to send your child elsewhere, do so. My son's second and third grade teachers were wonderful but his first and fourth grade teachers..... the things that they will say to your child is shocking and the principle will be on the side of the teacher. Your child has no voice in this school. My son hates school this year to the point that he will beg me not to make him go. I hope for the sake of the kids some changes are made here. Madison has a 3 rating for a reason; It's one of the worst schools in the Cedar Rapids area. I will be sending my child elsewhere to

I was told my daughter was doing fine, we switched schools and I found out she was over a year behind! This school is a joke. The principal doesn't know up from down and the school doesn't keep track of anything. They falsify data... Stay far away! My other kid was bullied by not only kids, but also teachers! In desperate need of continuing education and a better principal!

While this school may be OK for kids without special needs... it is NOT good for kids with special needs! Especially if your child has autism! The school has been uncooperative overall and I am beyond disappointed. Even more disappointed to find out that my first review was deleted, and apparently only positive reviews can be posted. Hiding much?

Great teachers and activities. Good set of parents there too.

The teachers and staff do a great job of getting to know the kids and parents even if they don't have your child as a student at the time. The teachers my son have had so far, have made school enjoyable enough that he still hates to miss school and is above his grade level in all of his skills.
