Madison Elementary School

This school nurtures all of the students in more ways than one. They support children who come from struggling backgrounds, which of course is reflected in some of the testing statistics. However, every student is taken care of in terms of their mental health as well as academic progress. The teachers try to foster an enthusiasm for learning and reinforce a thirst for knowledge that will carry through their lives. I have worked within the school and would gladly enroll my own children when the time comes. I have never seen educators more devoted to the growth of their students. They are well aware of the challenges each student faces, and are prepared to help them continue their education anyway. From my experience, this school is a great place to learn and work.

I have had an excellent experience at Prairie over the past 13 years. The community within Prairie is welcoming to students, parents and staff. I have often heard it referenced to as the Prairie family. Prairie has a very strong PTO that works to bring additional experiences and learning to the students and families at Prairie. The entire staff is very caring and looks out for all students not just the students in their class. Prairie has excellent support staff that works together to help all students be successful. The students at Prairie are excited about learning and love going to school!

My toddler is going here, and he has been to a few different preschools around the area. One of them abused him and state got involved, another one of them was good, but we couldn't afford them any longer. My child loves his teacher, and she is very good! He is learning a lot and praising God! He comes home every day telling us all the stuff he has learned, and we are very impressed! We are truly blessed to have this school in our area! They are easy to work with as far as billing goes and if you are having any financial struggles, just talk with them! All the parents are friendly, as well as the staff! I feel like my child is receiving a high-quality education, with Godly values and a small classroom so he can receive any extra attention he may need. With the smaller school size, it seems like an extended family! the older kids can help watch the younger children and set good examples for them to look up to. We definitely recommend St. Stephen's, Go Cardinals!
