Max Meadows Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outpacing state and district averages in mathematics, reading, science, and Virginia studies. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade proficiency rates were 75%, 92.59%, and 68.42% in mathematics, and 75%, 80.77%, and 65.79% in reading, compared to state averages of 70.11%, 71.16%, 67.98% and 66.88%, 72.91%, 71.93%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 73.68% also exceeds the state average of 67.26%, and its 4th-grade Virginia Studies proficiency rate of 96.15% is significantly higher than the state's 68.75%.

While Max Meadows Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (94.15%) compared to the state, its low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 94th out of 1,036 Virginia elementary schools. This strong performance is noteworthy, as some nearby schools with similar or lower free and reduced-price lunch rates, such as Critzer Elementary and Pulaski Elementary, have lower academic proficiency rates. Additionally, Max Meadows Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 may contribute to its success, compared to higher ratios at nearby schools like Jackson Memorial Elementary and Sheffey Elementary.

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.
