Summary

Meadowview Elementary School in Selma, AL, serves 334 students from Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Selma City district. Despite serving a predominantly low-income population (76% qualify for free or reduced lunch), the school has shown steady improvement in its state ranking, climbing from the 23rd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026, making it the highest-ranked elementary school in its district.

Meadowview consistently outperforms its district peers across most subjects and grade levels. In 4th grade science, for example, the school's 38.89% proficiency rate is nearly double the district average of 20.25%. When compared to nearby schools like Clark Elementary (which fell to the 1st percentile in 2025-2026) and Edgewood Elementary (in the bottom 6% for three straight years), Meadowview's performance is notably stronger. The school also competes well against Dallas County schools, beating Valley Grande Elementary in 4th grade math (41.67% vs. 21.57%) and 4th grade English (56.76% vs. 43.14%). One of the school's most impressive achievements is a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, from 25.5% in 2022-2023 to just 8.9% in 2024-2025—now well below both district and state averages.

The school's main challenges are a significant drop in 5th grade performance (only 10.34% proficient in math vs. 39.06% statewide) and a persistent gender gap, with female students ranking in the 35th percentile and male students in the 25th percentile. Test scores also fluctuate considerably year to year, making it important to look at multi-year trends. Still, Meadowview achieves these results while spending less per student ($10,109) than many nearby schools, suggesting efficient use of resources. For parents, this school represents a stable, improving option within the Selma City district, with particular strengths in early grades and a proven track record of supporting its students despite economic challenges.
