Summary:
The Meade school district in Kansas has only one elementary school, Meade Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has consistently performed at an average level compared to other Kansas elementary schools, it has shown some strengths in the early grades and faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism.
Meade Elementary has been ranked in the middle of Kansas elementary schools, ranking 339th out of 656 in 2024-2025, 445th out of 653 in 2023-2024, and 373rd out of 660 in 2022-2023. The school's performance rating has been 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past three school years. However, the school has shown some bright spots, with its 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (72.72%) significantly higher than the state average (51.85%), and its 6th grade Mathematics proficiency rate (53.56%) also notably higher than the state average (39.3%).
While Meade Elementary's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's chronic absenteeism rate was 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.59% in 2023-2024), suggesting that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact academic achievement. Overall, Meade Elementary appears to be a solid, average-performing school with some areas of strength and potential room for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting its socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
