Meadowview School

Summary:

Meadowview School is an elementary school located in Country Club Hills, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the Country Club Hills School District 160, which is ranked 786 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Meadowview School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1400-1900 out of around 2,000 schools over the past several years.

Meadowview School faces significant challenges, particularly with regards to chronic absenteeism and academic performance. The school has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.4% to 51.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Meadowview School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, is consistently well below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.4% of Meadowview students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 8.5% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 28.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as students with disabilities, low-socioeconomic status students, and African American students.

Interestingly, Meadowview School's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Memorial Elementary School in the Ccsd 146 district, which has higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Meadowview School's high spending per student (around $16,800 per student in 2022-2023) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (around 26 students per teacher in 2022-2023) suggest that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources. The high rates of poverty and free/reduced-price lunch eligibility (around 70% in 2022-2023) at Meadowview School may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in student achievement.

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.
