Summary

Meadowlawn Elementary School is a K–5 school in Monticello, Indiana, part of the Twin Lakes School Corp, serving 533 students from a high-poverty community where 59.85% were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, it ranked 671st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools—34th percentile with 2 stars—and its district ranked 224th of 374 districts. The school has generally been a lower-middle performer over the past decade, with percentile ranks mostly between 28 and 48, though attendance is a clear bright spot. Per-student spending rose from $8,122 in 2020–2021 to $10,372 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.6.

The school’s strongest metric is chronic absenteeism: 9.0% in 2024–2025, about half the district rate (16.0%) and state rate (16.7%), and better than Oaklawn Elementary School (13.9%). Academically, however, it trails the state in every tested subject: ELA 30.9%, Math 35.96%, Science 37.89%, and Grade 5 Social Studies 33.54%. Fourth-grade ELA is a relative bright spot at 41.05%, only 1.15 points below the state average of 42.2%, but fifth grade is a major weak point, with ELA and Math both at 27.16% and Social Studies at 33.54%; third-grade ELA is also well below state.

Compared with nearby schools, Oaklawn Elementary School—0.78 miles away and in the same district—outperforms the school in core subjects despite higher poverty (64.09% FRL): ELA 32.2% vs 30.9%, Math 44.07% vs 35.96%, and Science 41.67% vs 37.89%, with smaller classes (15.2 vs 17.6) and higher per-student spending ($12,029 vs $10,372). The Tippecanoe School Corp schools Hershey Elementary School, Burnett Creek Elementary School, and Battle Ground Elementary School post much higher proficiency and have far lower poverty; Burnett Creek spends less per student than the school yet achieves much higher results. The school outperforms North White Elementary School but sits in the middle among similar-poverty schools like Pioneer Elementary School and Delphi Community Elementary School. Overall, it is a high-poverty, lower-middle performer with strong attendance; key improvement areas are ELA across grades, fifth-grade Math and Social Studies, and fourth-grade Science.
