Madison Elementary

Madison Elementary sits in northwest Pasadena, a neighborhood that's seen a lot of change over the years but still carries a strong sense of community pride. The school serves a population that reflects the real, working-class fabric of this part of the city, and families here tend to be deeply rooted in the area. For parents looking for a neighborhood school where their kids grow up alongside the kids down the street, Madison has that close-knit feel — though families who prioritize high test scores may want to weigh options across the broader Pasadena Unified district.
