575^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 90% of California elementary schools

Summary

Meadows Elementary serves 729 students in grades K–6 in Valencia, within the Newhall district. Its results are strong overall, with math standing out as its clearest academic strength: in 2025–26, 74% of students were proficient, 10 percentage points above the district and 35 points above the state.

Math is also one of the school’s strongest results compared with nearby schools: Pico Canyon Elementary ranked third, with only Stevenson Ranch Elementary and Oak Hills Elementary scoring higher. ELA was also above the nearby-school average, district and state: 74% proficient, compared with 65%, 70% and 49%, respectively. Science is the main area to watch. Meadows ranked fifth nearby, with 51% proficient—above the state’s 36% and nearby average of 50%, but 2 points below the district.

Scores have softened over time, most sharply in science: proficiency fell 21 points, from 72% in 2022–23 to 51% in 2025–26. Meadows’ lead over the state narrowed in all three subjects, and science also shifted from a 16-point lead over the district to a 2-point deficit. Still, SchoolDigger gives the school five stars and ranks it in the 90th percentile statewide—575th of 5,804 schools, and fourth among the 11 nearby schools. In 2024–25, it had 26 students per teacher, compared with a nearby average of 24.4, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby average of 52%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for students receiving special education services fell from the 97th percentile in 2023–24 to the 85th in 2025–26, a steeper decline than the school’s overall move from the 94th to the 90th percentile; these rankings reflect how well the school serves that group, not a measure of the students.
