Summary

Meadow Ridge School serves 554 students in grades 3–5 in Orland Park, in Orland School District 135; SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and a 75th-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026. The most important overall finding is that Meadow’s latest results are above state proficiency rates in ELA, math and fifth-grade science.

Meadow’s strongest comparison with the state is ELA: 75% proficiency, versus 56% statewide, though it is below the district’s 77%. Math is 54%, above both the state’s 40% and the district’s 48%; fifth-grade science is 61%, slightly above the district’s 59% and above the state’s 48%. Against nearby schools serving the same grades, Meadow ranks third of three in all-grades ELA and second of three in math. Grade 3 math is a relative weakness: Meadow’s 59% is below the district’s 60% and the lowest among seven nearby schools with grade-level results.

Test scores have risen over time: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency increased by 16 points and math by 11, while the school’s leads over state rates changed little. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking has softened from an earlier high of the 89th percentile to the current 75th, despite those score gains. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.7, below the nearby-school average of 13.5; free/reduced lunch eligible students were 16% in 2021–2022. A notable concern in SchoolDigger’s group rankings is that its measure of how well Meadow serves Special Education Students fell to the 6th percentile in 2025–2026, from the 78th the year before; its English Language Learner Students ranking also fell, to the 58th percentile from the 84th.
