Jeanne R. Meadows Elementary

Public Grades K-6

Summary

Jeanne R. Meadows Elementary is a 422-student K–6 school in San Jose, in the Franklin-McKinley Elementary district. Its 2024–2025 results show strengths in math and science, but the most important academic concern is ELA: 36% of students were proficient, 12 percentage points below the state’s 49%.

The school matched the state in math proficiency at 37%, and science was slightly higher: 33.3% compared with the state’s 32.7%. It was also ahead of its district by 9 points in math and 13 points in science. ELA was essentially even with the district, at 36% versus 36%. Fifth-grade math stands out within the school: 52% were proficient, compared with 30% in fourth grade. No other schools are listed within 20 miles, so nearby-school comparisons are not available.

Results have moved in different directions: over the years provided, science rose 10 points and math rose 5 points, while ELA fell 4 points. As ELA declined, its gap with the state widened from 6 points to 12 points; science moved from 7 points below the state to about 1 point above it. Chronic absenteeism improved from 18% in 2022–2023 to 9% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 19%. The student-teacher ratio was 20 in 2024–2025, and 92% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s listing gives the district—not the school—a rank of 663 out of 968, the 32nd percentile, and 2 stars; the school’s own rank and star rating were not provided.
