As part of the Grayslake CCSD 46 district, Meadowview consistently outperforms the district and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grades.

In the 2023-2024 school year, 60.4% of Meadowview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.2% for the district and 41.2% for the state.

Meadowview's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade, where 74.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 55.7% were proficient or better in Mathematics.

Meadowview School outperforms the other Grayslake CCSD 46 elementary schools, as well as the nearby schools in the Round Lake CUSD 116 district, which have significantly lower academic performance. However, the school has seen a recent increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 2.8% in the 2020-2021 school year to 23.2% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is an area of concern that the school and district will need to address.

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.

Thursday, August 2, 2012

Our oldest son is about to enter into the fifth grade and Meadowview Elementary has been hands down the best school we've had the privilege of enrolling him into. We moved from California to Illinois halfway into the school year and the office staff were so welcoming and made it very easy for us to enroll him. His fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Fahrner was such an incredible blessing and helped to make his transition from one school to to another mid-year as easy as possible for him. Plus her communication with the parents of every child in her class was outstanding! The school also has a great music program, a wonderful campus, and was a truly great school for our son to attend. We are sorry that it does not go beyond fourth grade! The quality of the way the school is structured and run, made us feel like we placed our child in private school (and we can compare since private schools were all our children have been in while we lived in California). Great community, fabulous school. Close Quote

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.
