The school's racial makeup is predominantly white at 92.68%, with small percentages of Hispanic (4.78%) and students of two or more races (2.55%).

The school's performance has been consistently below the district and state in both ELA and math over the past two school years, and it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.3%.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2 and per-student spending that is on par with the district, Country Meadow Elementary School's academic struggles suggest a need for the school and district leadership to closely examine the root causes of the underperformance and develop a comprehensive plan to address the issues, including strategies to improve attendance, teaching practices, and support for struggling students.
