Madison’s Newest Elementary School
We opened our doors for the 2023-24 school year!
Southside Elementary is Madison’s newest school in 15 years and is situated off Rimrock Road, sharing a campus with Badger Rock Middle School. Our staff and students moved from the Allis “Palace” and remain committed to developing and sustaining a school environment which encourages individuality and responsibility, celebrates diversity, fosters a desire to learn, and supports every community member to discover and strengthen their skills, tales, and abilities so that each is prepared to be a productive participant in our changing global society.
