Summary

Meadowlake Elementary is a public elementary school in Mobile, Alabama, serving 387 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mobile County School District, which is ranked 94 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadowlake Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 149th out of 691 Alabama elementary schools in 2015-2016 to its current ranking of 442nd out of 680 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores are consistently below the Mobile County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates dropping from the 40-50% range in 2020-2021 to the 20-30% range in 2022-2023 for math and English. Meadowlake Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.8% to 31.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Meadowlake Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools like Dawes Intermediate School and Pearl Haskew Elementary, it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Mary W. Burroughs Elementary and WC Griggs Elementary, which have even lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Meadowlake Elementary, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing the needs of this student population could be a key focus for improvement.
