Meadow View Elementary

Summary:

Meadow View Elementary is a public elementary school in Santa Rosa, California, serving 418 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Bellevue Union District, which is ranked 1298 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadow View Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 12.2% in 2018-2019 to 40.2% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Kawana Springs Elementary (32.4%) and Bellevue Elementary (37.9%). Academically, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 29.22% of students proficient or better in ELA and 17.9% in Mathematics, compared to 29.76% and 20.31% for the district, respectively. The school's subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, also rank in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools.

Meadow View Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 82.3% in 2022-2023, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 3666 out of 5530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 4659 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, and its underperformance compared to nearby schools within the same district, indicate that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the root causes of these issues and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
