Summary

Meadowlane Elementary School is a mid-sized public school in Hialeah, FL, serving 786 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Miami-Dade school district, with about 61% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Meadowlane’s standout strength is its exceptional math performance, with proficiency rates that surpass both district and state averages across all tested grades. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency reached 82%, the highest among nearby schools like Mae M. Walters Elementary School and John G. Dupuis Elementary School. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of just 17.2%, far below the district average of 28.2% and the lowest among its peers—a sign of strong student engagement and family involvement. However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores present a challenge, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, where proficiency lags behind district averages. Nearby Mater Academy, which serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, outperforms Meadowlane in nearly every subject, especially in upper-grade ELA, offering a potential model for improvement.

Despite a recent dip in state ranking, Meadowlane’s test scores have shown a strong rebound, with significant year-over-year gains in both math and ELA. The school operates efficiently, spending $11,971 per student—less than many lower-performing neighbors like James H. Bright Elementary/J.W. Johnson Elementary ($18,847) and Twin Lakes Elementary School ($15,668)—while delivering solid academic returns, particularly in math. For families prioritizing a strong math foundation and a supportive, well-attended school environment, Meadowlane is a stable and efficient choice in the Hialeah area.
