Summary

Meadow View Elementary School is a public school in Castle Rock, Colorado, serving 508 students in grades PK–6 as part of the Douglas County School District No. Re 1. The school has climbed from the 25th percentile statewide in 2015-2016 to the 70th percentile (284 of 943 elementary schools) in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. One of the most notable changes in recent years has been the student population: the free/reduced lunch rate rose from just over 8% in 2022-2023 to 25.6% in 2024-2025, yet test scores did not drop—they improved.

On 2025-2026 CMAS assessments, Meadow View posted 54.5% proficiency in English Language Arts and 50.4% in math, both well above state averages (44.7% and 37.3%) but below district averages (63.8% and 57.2%). Math proficiency has grown by 15 points over three years, and the school's low-income students rank in the 94th percentile statewide—an exceptional result. Meadow View's math scores essentially match or beat nearby schools with more affluent populations, including Soaring Hawk Elementary School (50.3%), Aspen View Academy (50.4%), and Renaissance Expedition Learn Outward Bound School (43.4%). Sixth-grade ELA proficiency (67.2%) actually exceeds the district average of 64.8%, a rare feat for this school.

The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.1 is among the highest in the area—tied with Aspen View Academy and well above Castle Rock Elementary School (14.1) and Soaring Hawk (14.3). Chronic absenteeism (14.9%) is better than the district (16.6%) and state (28.4%), though several nearby schools post lower rates. Science is the weakest subject: 41.2% proficiency trails the district by nearly 14 points, and similar-neighbor Clear Sky Elementary posts 50.6% with a nearly identical demographic profile. For families, Meadow View is a solid choice, especially for students from low-income backgrounds, though those prioritizing smaller classes or top-tier academic rankings may prefer charter options like American Academy or Academy Charter School.
