Meadows Elementary

Summary:

Meadows Elementary is a public elementary school located in Meadows Place, Texas, serving 443 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 356 out of 968 districts in the state.

While Meadows Elementary has a diverse student population, with 42.44% Hispanic and 18.06% Asian students, the school's academic performance has declined in recent years. Its statewide ranking has dropped from 544 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,845 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on STAAR tests is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the district and state averages, while others, like 5th-grade science, significantly underperform. Notably, Meadows Elementary ranks particularly low for its Asian and African American student populations, while performing better for its White and Hispanic students.

Additionally, Meadows Elementary faces socioeconomic challenges, with 57.11% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance for its low-socioeconomic status students is also below average, ranking 3,050 out of 4,477 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement more targeted interventions, strengthen instructional practices, and explore additional resources and support systems to ensure that all students at Meadows Elementary have the opportunity to succeed, similar to nearby high-performing schools like Kennedy Elementary and Harmony School Of Excellence - Sugar Land.

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.
