Summary:

W Lloyd Meador Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White (68.4%) and Hispanic (21.23%) students compared to surrounding schools. Academically, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments across all grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 57.72%, compared to the district's 56.36% and the state's 48.85%. However, the school's performance in the gifted and talented program is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools.

While W Lloyd Meador Elementary is a strong-performing school, there are some areas for improvement. The school's racial composition has shifted in recent years, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students, which may require the school to adapt its teaching strategies. Additionally, there are disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. When compared to nearby schools, such as Anderson Elementary and Reaves Elementary in the Conroe Independent School District, W Lloyd Meador Elementary generally outperforms its district peers, but there is room for improvement to reach the level of the highest-performing schools in the area.

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.
