About Madroña
Madroña Academy of the Arts and Sciences, home of the Mustangs, teaches about 251 students from TK through 5th grade on Camino Manzanas in Thousand Oaks (Ed-Data). It was formerly Madrona Elementary, and Ed-Data still keeps a page under that name.
The name describes the program. On the arts side, students have visual arts, drama, musical productions, dance, digital arts and music, including strings, band and chorus, with an art room and an art specialist. On the sciences side, two fully equipped labs staffed by a science specialist host physical science, engineering, experiential learning and gardening (Madroña).
The 2026–27 day runs from 8:25 am to 2:35 pm for grades 1–5, and TK and kindergarten end at 1:30 pm. There's no weekly early-release day: the minimum days, with 12:30 pm dismissal, are conference week, October 12–16, and the last day, June 10 (bell schedule). Most Madroña addresses feed Redwood Middle School, and some are assigned to Sequoia.

Subjects that fit Madroña students
Physical science, engineering and gardening in Madroña's two labs mean a lot of measuring, recording and graphing. Those are the Measurement and Data standards of grades 3–5, alongside fractions, and elementary math sessions cover them. Drama and musical productions put reading aloud and scripts in front of students too; reading and phonics and writing sessions cover the rest of the literacy standards.
