Meadow Point Elementary School

Summary:

Meadow Point Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Colorado, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5. While the district is ranked 28th out of 116 school districts in Colorado, Meadow Point faces significant challenges, with lower academic performance, achievement gaps, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadow Point's student population is more diverse than nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (33%) and African American (13.75%) students. However, this diversity is not reflected in the school's academic performance. On the 2023-2024 CMAS tests, only 30.1% of Meadow Point students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.3% in the district and 44.1% statewide. The school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with Hispanic students performing better than the overall school but White students and those from low-income backgrounds performing much worse, ranking in the bottom 10% and 15% of Colorado elementary schools, respectively.

Meadow Point's declining performance over the past decade, from a 3-star rating in 2015-2016 to just 1 star in recent years, is concerning. The school's academic struggles are in stark contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Aspen Crossing Elementary, Fox Hollow Elementary, and Rolling Hills Elementary, which demonstrate significantly better test scores and rankings. Addressing the challenges at Meadow Point will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve instructional practices and provide targeted support for the school's diverse student population.

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.
