Summary

Meadowbrook Elementary School in Augusta, GA, serves approximately 447 students in grades PK-5 within the Richmond County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Meadowbrook has historically ranked in the bottom 5% of Georgia elementary schools, but recent data shows a modest upward trend—moving from the 2nd percentile to the 5th percentile over the past few years. The most encouraging news comes from 5th grade: math proficiency jumped from 7.3% to 20% in a single year, essentially matching the district average, while science proficiency more than doubled from 12.3% to 26%, significantly outpacing the district's 20% average. This improvement is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools like Barton Chapel Elementary School (7.8% science) and Glenn Hills Elementary School (6.8% science). However, 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency remains low at 7.9% and 8.4% respectively, suggesting the school's successful strategies are not yet reaching lower grades. The school spends $16,266 per student—higher than most nearby schools—and maintains a favorable 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio.

Chronic absenteeism remains the school's biggest challenge, with 35.2% of students missing significant instructional time, compared to the state average of 17.7%. This rate is higher than the district average of 30.3% and far exceeds nearby Deer Chase Elementary School (17.2%) and Tobacco Road Elementary School (15.0%). While Meadowbrook's absolute scores remain low, the dramatic gains in 5th grade demonstrate that improvement is possible. The contrast with Freedom Park K-8 School, just 3.2 miles away, is stark—Freedom Park serves a much different population (only 20.89% free/reduced lunch) and posts significantly higher scores. For parents, the key takeaway is that Meadowbrook is showing genuine progress in upper elementary grades, but addressing attendance and replicating 5th-grade success across all grades will be critical to sustaining this momentum.
