Summary

Meadowlark School is a PK–8 public school in Erie, CO, serving 747 students as part of the Boulder Valley School District, one of the highest-ranked districts in the state. For 2025–2026, Meadowlark ranks 174th out of 943 Colorado schools (82nd percentile) with a 4-star rating, placing it solidly above average—though this marks a pullback from its 90th-percentile ranking in 2023–2024. The school stands out for exceptional attendance: only 5.2% of students are chronically absent, far below the district (17.5%) and state (28.4%) rates. With just 10.3% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, Meadowlark serves a largely affluent population, and its student-teacher ratio of 18.7 is higher than most nearby schools.

The school’s greatest strength is its middle school. In grades 6–8, Meadowlark consistently beats district and state averages—7th grade ELA proficiency is 76.4% and 8th grade math is 64.7%. Among nearby PK–8 schools, it clearly outpaces Soaring Heights Pk-8 and Aspen Ridge Preparatory School. However, its elementary grades are comparatively underwhelming: 3rd grade ELA (55.4%) and 4th grade math (48.8%) both fall below district averages. Nearby elementary schools like Erie Elementary (72.7% ELA, 69.0% math) and Highlands Elementary School (69.5% ELA, 64.2% math) post higher elementary proficiency rates, despite belonging to the lower-ranked St. Vrain Valley School District. Science follows the same pattern: 5th grade science (51.5%) lags nearby schools, while 8th grade science (65.7%) is a clear strength.

Several subgroup rankings warrant attention. While the school’s overall rank is at the 82nd percentile, its gifted and talented students rank at only the 36th percentile, and other subgroups have slipped from prior years. White, male, and female students all score below the school’s overall percentile, suggesting that strong middle-school results are not translating evenly across all student groups. These declines occurred despite improved attendance, pointing to academic-support issues rather than engagement problems. Overall, Meadowlark is a consistently above-average school with excellent attendance and a standout middle school, making it an attractive PK–8 option—especially for families prioritizing strong upper-grade academics. Just be aware that its elementary performance is more ordinary than the school’s rank implies.
