Meadows Elementary School

Summary:

Meadows Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huntington, West Virginia, serving around 250 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cabell County Schools district, which is ranked 11th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

One of the standout features of Meadows Elementary is its racial diversity, with a student population that is 80.4% White, 6.8% African American, 0.8% Hispanic, and 12% two or more races. This is notable, as many nearby schools have a student population that is over 90% White. Academically, Meadows has shown strong performance in English Language Arts, with 65.5% of 3rd graders, 51.6% of 4th graders, and 66.7% of 5th graders proficient or better, outperforming the Cabell County and West Virginia state averages. However, the school's Mathematics performance has been more mixed, with 3rd and 5th graders performing above the district and state averages, but 4th graders lagging behind.

Meadows Elementary's performance has been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating from 64th out of 402 schools in 2015-2016 to 177th out of 375 schools in 2021-2022. The school also faces challenges in supporting students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom third of West Virginia elementary schools in this category. When compared to nearby schools like Davis Creek Elementary and Hite Saunders Elementary, Meadows generally performs on par or slightly above average, but these schools have consistently outperformed Meadows, 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.
