Summary

Meadows Elementary is a consistently strong K-5 public school serving about 360 students in the Millbrae Elementary district, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide and earning steady 4-star ratings with particularly high math scores.

When compared to nearby schools, Meadows stands out for its stable, high-level performance, especially in mathematics where its 74% proficiency rate outpaces both district and state averages. It performs very well within its own district, alongside Green Hills Elementary, but trails the elite Burlingame Elementary district schools like Hoover and Franklin. Notably, it significantly outperforms other local schools such as Lomita Park Elementary and Belle Air Elementary, despite those schools sometimes having higher per-student spending.

Areas for the school community to monitor include a recent increase in chronic absenteeism and a relative dip in 5th-grade performance and science scores. However, its consistent results over time and efficient use of resources make Meadows Elementary a reliable and high-achieving choice for families in the area.
