Summary

Meadowview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Selma, Alabama, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 344 students. The school is part of the Selma City School District, which is ranked 118 out of 135 districts in Alabama and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadowview Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Selma City and Alabama state averages in both math and English language arts (ELA) assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 45.47% statewide. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 32.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large majority of Meadowview Elementary students (66.86% in 2023-2024) come from low-income families and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Valley Grande Elementary School and Clark Elementary School outperform Meadowview Elementary in both math and ELA assessments. While Meadowview's African American students perform relatively better than the school's overall performance, the school's female, male, and low-income students rank in the bottom half of the state. Despite Meadowview Elementary's spending per student ($10,109 in 2018-2019) being slightly higher than the state average, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.
