Summary

Meyers Elementary is a 334-student K–5 school in South Lake Tahoe, in the Lake Tahoe Unified area. Its clearest distinction is academic: in 2025–2026, it had the highest all-grades English language arts, math and science proficiency among the three nearby same-district K–5 schools, and it outperformed both its district and California in all three subjects.

Meyers Elementary’s strongest comparative advantage is in math: proficiency was 70%, about 34 points above the district, 32 points above the state and 38 points above the nearby-school average. In English language arts, its 81% proficiency was 33 points above the district, 31 above the state and 35 above the peer average. Science was its weakest subject by these comparisons, but proficiency still reached 65%—27 points above the district, 29 above the state and 30 above nearby peers. The peer averages were 45% in English language arts, 32% in math and 35% in science.

Results have improved most in English language arts: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 13 points, compared with a 2-point increase in math; science fell 3 points overall, despite rising in the latest year. Meyers Elementary’s SchoolDigger standing also improved, from the 88th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 92nd percentile, with 5 stars, in 2025–2026. Context includes a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 23.8, above the nearby-school average of 22.1, and 27% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a 60% peer average. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for White Students rose from 67 to 86 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, moving closer to the school’s overall percentile, which increased from 88 to 92.
