Elementary Schools in Madison County

The elementary schools in Madison County, Georgia serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district includes 5 elementary schools: Danielsville Elementary School, Hull-Sanford Elementary School, Colbert Elementary School, Ila Elementary School, and Comer Elementary School.

Ila Elementary School stands out as a consistently high-performing school, ranking among the top 25% of Georgia elementary schools for the past three years. The school's strong performance is particularly evident in mathematics, with over 60% of students proficient or better in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Colbert Elementary School has also shown impressive growth, moving from a 3-star to a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, with 70% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in math.

While the schools in Madison County generally perform above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, there are still areas for improvement. For example, the relatively low proficiency rates in 5th-grade math at Colbert Elementary School (32.8%) and Danielsville Elementary School (60.5%) compared to the county and state averages. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools indicate that many students in the district face economic challenges, which can impact academic performance.
