Madison Elementary School

If you want your child to be bullied, nothing to happen to fix the issues, and attacked and injured by other students without any notification sent to you about these situations, then this is the school for you. Between the lack of communication, failure to take accountability for mistakes and total un professionalism of the staff this school wins the award for biggest failure of Desmoines. And no, over staffing is not an issue considering my child has a 5.6-1 student to teacher ratio. Oh and never speak up on issues your having, or your child will be the constant target and disliked by his teachers if you choose to be vocal and request changes being made. Example: not having said bully sitting directly next to your child. I wouldn’t recommend this school to my worst enemy, and if your child happens to have special needs or any sort of education plan, sorry they don’t provide the resources for that either. Expect constant phone calls to pick your student up, or plan on them spending the majority of the day in isolation.
