Summary

Country Meadows Elementary School is a public school in Peoria, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 978 students. The school is part of the Peoria Unified School District, which is ranked 138 out of 289 districts in the state.

Country Meadows Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 19% of 3rd graders at Country Meadows were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 41% in the district and 36% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, while performing better for other groups like African American students and English Language Learners.

When compared to nearby schools in the Peoria Unified School District and surrounding areas, Country Meadows stands out for its consistently lower academic performance and higher dropout rates. Schools like Alta Loma School and Luke Elementary School generally outperform Country Meadows, and they also have lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes.
