Summary

Meadow Park Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 592 students within the highly-regarded Irvine Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top tier of California elementary schools.

Academically, Meadow Park is a strong performer, with test scores in English, Math, and Science that are well above state averages; its science proficiency is a particular standout compared to many neighbors like Oak Creek Elementary and Culverdale Elementary. The school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than several nearby schools. However, recent data shows a dip in its statewide ranking, and it trails behind the district's very top performers such as Turtle Rock Elementary and Eastshore Elementary in core subject proficiency.

Notable areas for attention include a chronic absenteeism rate that, while better than the state average, is higher than the district average and some high-performing peers. The school has a strong historical record of supporting diverse learners, and performance data shows literacy skills improve markedly from third to sixth grade. For parents, Meadow Park represents a solid, well-resourced choice with notable strengths, though it is navigating some recent performance shifts within a very competitive local landscape.
