Madison School

611 Madison Street
630-887-1390

One of the district's oldest schools, Madison, a two-story building was constructed in 1924. The school and grounds comprise 8.2 acres. The building square footage is 37,535 plus a basement/boiler room of 1,883 square feet.

Changes made to the original building include:

1956 - an addition totaling 13,328 sq. ft.
1964 - an addition totaling 7,930 sq. ft.
1997 - two mobile classrooms were added with a connecting corridor
1998 - a new gym addition was constructed, including additional restrooms.
Madison's enrollment has grown steadily over the past 20 years from 233 in 1985 to 416 students in 2005-2006.

During the 2005-2006 school year, Madison will be expanded and renovated. Work is expected to be completed on the 16,000 sq. ft. addition and 10,000 sq. ft. of renovated space for fall 2006. From January-June 2006, Madison students will be bused to old Prospect School in Clarendon Hills while the renovation phase is underway. The project is made possible by the passage of a $31 million bond referendum in March 2004 to address space needs at four schools in the district.
