Meadowbrook Elementary

Summary:

Meadowbrook Elementary is a public elementary school located in Gladstone, Missouri, serving 504 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 126 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadowbrook Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Missouri elementary schools, with a high ranking of 205 out of 1,058 schools in 2014-2015. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. Meadowbrook Elementary has also shown strong performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, often ranking in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 27.3% in recent years, which is an area of concern compared to the district and state averages.

Meadowbrook Elementary's per-student spending has steadily increased, from $10,633 in 2018-2019 to $12,952 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. While the school's performance on state assessments is generally above average, it does not appear to be commensurate with the higher spending levels, suggesting the need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization. Compared to nearby schools like Crestview Elementary and Gashland Elementary, Meadowbrook Elementary has a more diverse student population and a higher proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's unique performance profile and resource needs.

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.
