Meade Elementary

Summary:

Meade Elementary is a public school in Meade, Kansas, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 284 students. The school is part of the Meade school district, which is ranked 90 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Meade Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 184th out of 667 Kansas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 445th out of 653 in 2023-2024, the school has shown varying performance across different student subgroups. Female students have consistently ranked higher than male students, but the school's performance for White students and low socioeconomic status students has been relatively lower. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in 4th and 8th grade.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Meade Elementary, which has increased from 49.8% in 2020-2021 to 62.32% in 2022-2023, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. However, the school also has some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in specific grade levels, which could be leveraged to improve overall performance. By addressing these issues and building on its strengths, Meade Elementary can work towards providing a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
