Meadowlake Elementary

Summary:

Meadowlake Elementary is a public elementary school in Mobile, Alabama, serving 404 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mobile County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadowlake Elementary has several key characteristics that set it apart from nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (57.67%) compared to other schools in the area, which tend to have more African American and Hispanic students. Academically, Meadowlake Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in core subjects like 3rd-grade math falling well below the norm. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 149th out of 691 Alabama elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 428th out of 684 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period. Additionally, there are significant disparities in performance between the school's White and African American students.

While some nearby schools, such as Dawes Intermediate and Pearl Haskew Elementary, have consistently outperformed Meadowlake Elementary, others in the same district have struggled as well. This suggests that the challenges faced by Meadowlake Elementary may be systemic within the Mobile County School District. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving teaching and learning, providing targeted support for underperforming student groups, and addressing the broader systemic challenges within the district.

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.
