Summary

Meadow Green Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 470 students in Whittier's Lowell Joint district, consistently ranking as a top-tier school in the 85th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 year.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency in English, math, and science significantly outpacing both district and state averages. It stands out for its exceptional effectiveness, ranking in the 95th percentile for Hispanic students and the 90th percentile for students from low-income families, demonstrating a strong capacity to support diverse learners. Furthermore, the school has made impressive strides in student engagement, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism to 8.4%, which is lower than nearby schools like El Portal Elementary and well below the state average.

Meadow Green's performance is both high and stable over time, distinguishing it from some area schools that show more year-to-year fluctuation. It achieves these strong results while spending less per student than several neighboring schools, such as Olita Elementary. Within its own district, it is the clear academic leader among comparable schools, and it competes favorably with other high-performing local schools like Murphy Ranch Elementary from the East Whittier City Elementary district.
