Original Research by School Decision on Madison Virtual Academy
Madison Virtual Academy is listed as an inactive school, meaning it is no longer operating. The available record shows its lifecycle status as inactive, and no current enrollment figures, student demographics, test results, or graduation data exist because the school is not active. The grade band is given as “M through M,” which does not clearly indicate the grade levels it served, so a reader cannot tell from this data whether it was an elementary, middle, or high school program. It was classified as a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and was part of the Madison Elementary District in Phoenix.
Because the school is inactive, comparisons to other districts in Maricopa County are not applicable: there are no proficiency rates, graduation rates, or chronic absenteeism rates to place against peers. No information on programs, course access, staffing, discipline, or attendance was available. The lack of data here reflects the school’s ceased operations rather than any performance assessment.
The school was located in Phoenix, a large, sprawling urban center that functions as a major financial, communications, and transportation hub for the Mountain West region. Phoenix has a car-oriented built environment with a precise grid of wide roadways. Its economy is concentrated in high-technology, manufacturing, tourism, and services, and it remains one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. The Madison Elementary District, which housed this virtual academy, did not show any recent changes of lasting impact in publicly available records.
For a parent or resident considering this school, the essential fact is that it is no longer active. There are no offerings to evaluate, no student body to describe, and no outcome data to examine. Any interest in a virtual school option within the Madison Elementary District would need to be directed to the district itself to learn whether a replacement program exists or if other online learning options are available elsewhere in Phoenix.
