Meadville Elementary

Summary:

Meadville Elementary is a public elementary school in Meadville, Missouri, serving 117 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Meadville R-IV school district, which is ranked 135 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Meadville Elementary faces several challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.44%) compared to the state average, with very low representation of minority students. Academically, Meadville Elementary's performance on MAP tests is well below the state average across multiple grade levels and subjects, such as 4th grade math where only 21.8% scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.8%. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 88th out of 1,089 Missouri elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 736th out of 898 in the most recent year, placing it in the bottom 20% of elementary schools in the state. Additionally, Meadville Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.64% to 41.03% over the past three years.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Tina-Avalon Elementary and Linn County Elementary, Meadville Elementary generally performs worse academically and has a lower statewide ranking. The school's leadership and the Meadville R-IV district should closely examine the root causes of these issues and develop a comprehensive plan to address them, with a focus on improving educational outcomes for all 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.
