Meadow View Elementary

Summary:

Meadow View Elementary is a public elementary school in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, serving 362 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sun Prairie Area School District, which is ranked 245 out of 428 districts in the state.

Meadow View Elementary has demonstrated strong performance for specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 30-40 Wisconsin elementary schools for Asian, African American, and Hispanic students. However, the school's overall academic performance has been more mixed, with rankings ranging from 331 to 571 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years. In the 2023-2024 school year, Meadow View's 4th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Concerning trends include a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.9% in 2018-2019 to 26.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby Northside Elementary and Eastside Elementary.

While Meadow View Elementary has areas of strength, it lags behind some higher-performing nearby schools, such as Royal Oaks Elementary and Horizon Elementary, in overall academic achievement and school rankings. Additionally, the school's spending per student has decreased from $14,200 in 2018-2019 to $13,396 in 2020-2021, which is lower than the spending at some nearby schools like Westside Elementary and C.H. Bird Elementary. Addressing these areas of concern through targeted interventions, sharing of best practices, and strategic resource management could help Meadow View Elementary improve its educational outcomes and better serve its student population.

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.
