Meadow Brook consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Michigan, with strong academic performance that exceeds state and district averages. In 2023-2024, 74.1% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step/English Language Arts, compared to 67.8% for the district and 44% for the state. However, the school has a higher percentage of White students (72.22%) and lower percentages of African American (3.03%) and Hispanic (7.32%) students compared to nearby schools like Rogers School and North Hill Elementary School. Additionally, Meadow Brook has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.0% in 2019-2020 to 20.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools.

Meadow Brook's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (14.14%) suggests a higher socioeconomic status among its student population compared to nearby schools like Deerfield Elementary School and Hampton Elementary School, which range from 4.53% to 40.61%. This could have implications for the school's resource allocation, support services, and the overall educational experience for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
