Meadowbrook Elementary School

Summary:

Meadowbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Augusta, Georgia, serving 497 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 176 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadowbrook Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools over the past decade, with a statewide rank between 1110-1221 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools. The school significantly underperforms compared to the Richmond County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with only 7.2% of 3rd graders, 11.8% of 4th graders, and 20.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 20.6%, 16.9%, and 26.9% for Richmond County, and 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% for the state. Meadowbrook's math and science proficiency rates are also much lower than the district and state. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.98% to 97.99% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

While the nearby schools in the Richmond County district also perform poorly compared to state averages, Meadowbrook Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in the district. The school's relatively low per-student spending, ranging from $9,563 to $10,034, and high student-teacher ratio of 13.4-14.6 may indicate that it is not receiving adequate resources to support student learning and address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population. These factors suggest that significant interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes and provide equitable educational opportunities for the Meadowbrook Elementary community.

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.
