Meadowbrook Elementary School

Summary:

Meadowbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Novi, Michigan, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges in academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic and racial disparities.

Meadowbrook Elementary's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.9% for the Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district and 39.6% for the state of Michigan. The school also experiences relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.7% in 2018-2019 to 28.8% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than nearby schools like Walled Lake Elementary and Mary Helen Guest Elementary.

Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role in student performance at Meadowbrook Elementary, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.34% in 2020-2021 to 50.35% in 2022-2023. This is higher than nearby schools, and the school's low rankings for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds suggest these students may be facing additional challenges. Additionally, the school's data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement among different racial subgroups, with the school's ranking for African American students being much lower than that of White students.

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.
