Original Research by School Decision on Madison Rose Lane School
Madison Rose Lane School serves students from preschool through fourth grade as a regular public school in the Madison Elementary District, within the city of Phoenix. Because it is an early-elementary school, state testing data is available only for the grades that are tested, and the school does not have a graduation rate to report; that metric simply does not apply at this grade band.
The school enrolls a sizable student body for an elementary school serving only through grade four. Its student population is diverse. Hispanic students represent the largest share, followed by white students, students who identify as two or more races, Black students, American Indian or Alaska Native students, and Asian students. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are classified as English learners was not available in the source material, so a family may want to follow up with the school directly for those details.
On the 2024-25 state assessments, Madison Rose Lane’s results place its overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades in the top quartile relative to other districts in Maricopa County. In third grade, about half of students scored proficient in math, and a similar share did so in English language arts. In fourth grade, the math proficiency rate was similar, while the English language arts proficiency rate was higher, with more than three out of five students scoring proficient. Because the assessment data covers only a single year, there is no multi-year trend to examine. Science testing data is from an older assessment year, making it less reliable for current comparison.
The school is a regular public school and is not a charter school. Its status as a magnet or Title I school was not indicated in the available data. Locale and staffing information were also absent from the records reviewed, so there is no detail on class sizes or teacher qualifications to share.
Phoenix is a large, sprawling urban center that has grown rapidly over many decades. Its economy has shifted from its agricultural roots to a mix of high-technology manufacturing, services, tourism, and transportation. Sky Harbor International Airport is a key facility. The city’s layout is car-oriented, with a grid street system and wide roadways. Downtown Phoenix serves as a civic and commercial hub, hosting the state capitol and major venues. Recreational and cultural anchors include Papago Park, South Mountain, the Phoenix Art Museum, and Chase Field. The city continues to grow, though specific new housing or development projects were not described in the research reviewed.
The Madison Elementary District itself did not surface any recent parent-relevant changes in the information gathered, so the narrative focuses on what the school’s own data shows.
For a family considering Madison Rose Lane, the picture is of an early-elementary school with strong proficiency results relative to other schools in the county. The student body is diverse, which may appeal to families seeking that environment. Because the school ends at fourth grade, families will need to plan for a transition to a different school for upper elementary or middle school. The school sits within a large, fast-growing city with a broad economic base and ample civic amenities. The absence of economic disadvantage and special population data is a gap; a parent may want to learn more about how the school supports students who are learning English or who have special needs.
