Summary

Meadowdale Elementary School serves 421 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Carpentersville, within CUSD 300. Its clearest academic concern is English Language Arts (ELA): 26% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, the lowest result among Meadowdale and the nine nearby schools with reported scores.

Mathematics is Meadowdale’s stronger subject relative to its ELA results, but it remains below local and statewide comparisons. Math proficiency was 28%, versus 39% in the district, 40% statewide and a 40% nearby-school average; Meadowdale ranked fourth-lowest among the ten schools. ELA proficiency was 26%, compared with 52% in the district, 56% statewide and a 46% nearby-school average. Fifth-grade science was also low: 24%, versus 45% in the district, 48% statewide and a 39% average among nearby schools reporting results. Meadowdale had the second-lowest science result in that group.

Scores are improving in math, but ELA has not kept pace with state gains: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, Meadowdale’s math proficiency rose 17 percentage points, while ELA rose 9 points and its gap with the state widened from 25 to 31 points. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 21st percentile to the 8th, with 0 stars in 2025–2026; rankings reflect relative standing and can move differently from test scores. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students declined from the 31st to the 11th percentile over that period, and its ranking for Hispanic Students fell from the 30th to the 13th percentile. As context, in 2024–2025, 89% of Meadowdale students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 70%; its student-teacher ratio was 14.4, near the peer average of 13.4.
