We moved to the area 11 months ago and absolutely LOVE this school. The principal Mr. Callahan and Brenda in the front office are soooo good with helping to get my kindergartner acclimated. There’s a culture of inclusiveness and respect. I would recommend this school to everyone if I could. My kindergartner is excited about her education and loves learning thanks to Mrs. Fowler!!

10 (so far!) My son HEARTS going to this school and I am so glad. The rate at which he learned to read in kindergarten with Mrs. Summers and a love for learning is continued to be instilled and supported by Mrs. Aguilar 100%.

Best teaching staff of most of the schools I've seen. However the principal is horrible he picks what children he will support and what ones he will not. Then if something happens to one that he doesn't support by one he happens to support nothing will get done and he will make it so district as well won't listen to you. Before this principal got here the school ran very well and parents loved the school and how it was ran. Sense this man took over the school it's gone nothing but down hill. The school has the best teaching staff and can be one of the best schools in the district if only it has someone else running it. If it stays being ran by Tim Callahan then it's just going to keep going down hill. Once he would be gone and then a total overhaul of the district 200 staff so that they would understand that the parents are the ones who matter who are the ones that keep the schools running smooth and when we need them they need to be there. Then the whole school system will run so much easier. Once they realize that you don't have to be in the PTA to care about your children's schooling that will be a huge help due to the reasons some parents have children in each one of the districts schools elementary, middle, and high school as to where you can't just do something for only one of your children's schools without the other children feeling left out. At Madison there is a huge difference in treatment of you and your children by The principal if you're on the PTA or not. If you are then your child seems to get away with doing harm to other children without any punishment and it can be even the same child while you the parent feel helpless and the school will turn a blind eye. But if you're on the PTA they will hear you out and even if your child is the one hurting others they will find a way to blame the other children. They almost act as a colt. The teachers have zero part in this activity. But if the school had someone else running it things would change for the better. The principal is the problem.

My son is in all-day Kindergarten at Madison, and his teacher, Mrs. Bailey is THE BEST! She seems to genuinely love her kids (and her school), and does a fantastic job inspiring a love of learning! I have gotten a great vibe and sense of enthusiasm from all of the other staff at Madison as well, and am so proud to have my son in such a wonderful school :)
