Meadow Wood Elementary

Summary:

Meadow Wood Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 657 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District, which is ranked 318 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating.

Meadow Wood Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, with strong academic performance that exceeds district and state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, over 70% of 3rd-5th graders at Meadow Wood were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to around 60% for the district and 50% for the state. The school also outperforms the district and state in STAAR Mathematics. Meadow Wood's student population is relatively diverse, with a higher percentage of White and Asian students compared to nearby schools like Sherwood Elementary and Thornwood Elementary, which have a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students and lower academic performance.

Another key factor that sets Meadow Wood Elementary apart is its relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (28.31%), indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to the district and state averages. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic success, as research has shown that students from higher-income families tend to have access to more educational resources and support at home. When compared to other high-performing schools in the area, such as Rummel Creek Elementary, Meadow Wood maintains strong academic performance, though Rummel Creek outperforms Meadow Wood in some areas, particularly in mathematics.

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.
