Summary

Meairs Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 387 students in the Westminster School District in Garden Grove, CA, performing near state averages while serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, Meairs performs slightly below the Westminster district average but shows positive trends, having improved its statewide ranking from the 43rd to the 54th percentile. The school has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absences, a factor often linked to learning. A notable strength is its support for English Language Learner students, who perform above average compared to similar students across the state. Performance also tends to be stronger in the upper grades, with fifth graders scoring well in English.

Interesting comparisons emerge when looking at nearby schools. Within its own district, Meairs sits in the middle, outperforming schools like Anderson Elementary but trailing higher performers like Jessie Hayden Elementary. Just across district lines in Garden Grove Unified, some schools, such as the exceptionally high-ranking A. G. Cook Elementary, achieve different results with similar or even lower per-student spending, suggesting factors beyond budget influence outcomes.
