Although Madison Meadows Middle School has been educating students in fifth through eighth grades since 1957, this neighborhood landmark in the Central Avenue Corridor in North Phoenix became an International World Baccalaureate School in 2015. Since then, the school has also been awarded as a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education and has continued to shift its educational focus toward the future for all students. At Madison Meadows School, teachers write and adapt the curriculum with the International Baccalaureate teaching philosophy which centers education around collaboration, problem-solving, challenging conventions, and inquiry. This way, questions are encouraged and explored by all students. All the questions continue to pay off, as Madison Meadows often ranks in the top 10% of all middle schools in Arizona with test scores in reading and math well above the state average and just above those of its district. Among notable services, the school offers free breakfast and lunch, before- and after-school care programs, school break and summer camps, and a Native American program, as well as a roster of athletics to complement core curricula. With the various academics and activities offered at this esteemed institution, students will always be provided with opportunities to thrive and grow.
