Summary

Meadow Green Elementary is a 470-student K–6 school in Whittier, part of the Lowell Joint School District, with several nearby elementary schools providing useful local comparisons. Its 2025–26 results are strong across English language arts (ELA), math, and science, exceeding district and state averages in all three. Most notably, Meadow Green has the highest all-grades science proficiency among the 10 nearby schools.

Meadow Green also ranks among the local leaders in ELA and math: 70% of students were proficient in ELA and 65% in math, placing it third among nearby schools in both subjects; the nearby-school averages were 56% and 49%. Science proficiency was 52%, compared with a peer average of 42%. The school’s results were above Lowell Joint and California in every subject: its advantages were 11 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 12 in science over the district, and 21, 27, and 16 points over the state. Grade-level results show some variation: grade 6 ELA was 62%, about 1 point below the district’s 63%, though above the state’s 48%; grade 5 math, at 54%, was the school’s lowest math result.

Results have improved overall since 2022–23, particularly in math, which rose 8 percentage points to 65%; ELA increased 3 points and science 2. SchoolDigger places Meadow Green at the 87th percentile statewide, with 4 stars and a rank of 758 out of 5,804; nearby Murphy Ranch Elementary is slightly higher at the 89th percentile.
