Summary

Meadows Elementary is a public elementary school located in Meadows Place, Texas, serving 436 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 325 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Meadows Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 731 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 2,935 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022, the school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. However, the school performs better in reading, with 5th-grade reading proficiency at 64.38% in 2024-2025, compared to 67.18% for the district and 57.83% for the state. Meadows Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, higher than the district average of 57.11%.

Despite spending more per student ($11,181 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average ($10,136 in 2019-2020) and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.9 in 2023-2024 compared to the district average of 14.6 in 2022-2023, Meadows Elementary's declining academic performance and uneven performance across student subgroups suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and instructional strategies to address these challenges and better serve its community. Nearby schools like Kennedy Elementary and Harmony School Of Excellence - Sugar Land may provide useful comparisons and insights for Meadows Elementary to consider.

The best all-around education, the Meadows outshines all. The atmosphere is focused on academic achievement and a well-rounded effort of all parents, teachers, custodial staff, and administration to educate not only academically but good citizenship, and pride. Communication is key to keeping students on a positive educational journey that creates self-confidence and a love for learning as well as pride in accomplishments. Meadows does all of this and more.
