Meadowbrook Elementary

Summary:

Meadowbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Canton, North Carolina, serving 218 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Haywood County Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Meadowbrook Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.16%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Junaluska Elementary and Riverbend Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Haywood County Schools district and the state average across various subjects and grade levels, with a 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 58.8% compared to the district's 72.2% and the state's 62.7%. Additionally, Meadowbrook Elementary has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 38.36% in 2020-2021 to 65.14% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Meadowbrook Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 411 out of 1,440 North Carolina elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 562 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, indicating the school may be struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and low-socioeconomic status students performing better than the overall student population. These challenges suggest that the school's administration and the Haywood County Schools district may need to explore strategies to address the needs of Meadowbrook Elementary's students and improve overall academic performance.

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.
