"The community at Simis is great. The teachers have been wonderful. It's got a reputation for being a bigger school but the teachers do a great job with one on one attention to students and are always able to speak very informedly about your child, what would be good for your child, and what your child may need to improve on. It's really clear when you get to know the staff at Madison Simis, how much effort, time, and thought they put in to making sure that your child a great social experience but also gets pushed academically so they keep moving forward."

We value the traditional teaching that MTA offers and believe it has completely set up our oldest for success as he enters high school. The teachers and staff have been absolutely wonderful and we are so appreciative to now have Mr. Merrill as our principal who genuinely loves and cares for each and every student.

Madison Elementary School District recently broke ground on the full rebuild of the Madison Rose Lane Elementary School campus, located at Rose Lane and 12th Street. Designed by Grace Design Studios and constructed by McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., the preschool–4th grade campus will be fully transformed by summer 2027.
“This marks an exciting new chapter in the legacy of Madison Rose Lane,” said Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Guerin. “We’re grateful to our partners for honoring the heart of this community while creating a state-of-the-art campus focused on the visual and performing arts.”
Home to over 600 students, Rose Lane offers a signature program in the arts. The rebuild—funded by the 2023 voter-approved bond — includes a new two-story classroom building, music and dance studios, a preschool wing, and a dynamic multipurpose performing arts venue with an indoor-outdoor stage. New MAC (Madison Adventure Club) spaces, athletic fields, expanded parking, and a district-wide training center are also part of the phased construction plan.
Students will engage with the process through construction tours, classroom visits, and hands-on learning.
“This project is about more than just new buildings,” said Biby Carbonneau of Grace Design Studios. “It’s about creating an inspiring place where creativity and learning thrive.”
We thank our community voters for their strong support of the bond initiative that made this and other important projects benefiting Madison students possible.
We officially broke ground on the future Madison Rose Lane Elementary School, and we couldn’t have done it without our community. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible voters for supporting the bond overrides, to our dedicated staff, inspiring students, and passionate community members who made this dream a reality.
Special thanks to McCarthy Construction and Orcutt | Winslow for partnering with us to build a space that will empower the next generation of leaders in our ever-changing world
