Summary

Meadowbrook Elementary School is a K-5 school in Novi, MI, serving 518 students as part of the Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district, where just over half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Meadowbrook is performing below both its district and state averages across most subjects and grade levels. Its state ranking places it in the 41st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 2-star rating—notably lower than the district's overall 4-star rating. This performance gap becomes especially clear when compared to nearby schools. For example, in 5th-grade math, only 25.9% of Meadowbrook students were proficient, compared to 52.1% at Hickory Woods Elementary and 56.1% at Walled Lake Elementary. Schools from the neighboring Novi Community School District, such as Parkview Elementary and Novi Woods Elementary, rank in the 96th and 98th percentiles respectively—a stark contrast despite being just a few miles away.

There are some bright spots. Meadowbrook shows notable effectiveness with its African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the 66th and 68th percentiles respectively. However, the school faces significant challenges. Chronic absenteeism has been persistently high—21.1% in 2024-2025, compared to 12.0% at Hickory Woods and 8.4% at Forest Elementary. Additionally, per-pupil spending at Meadowbrook ($14,494) is lower than at several nearby schools, including Walled Lake Elementary ($18,688) and Hickory Woods ($18,405), despite serving a population with greater economic need. For parents, this combination of high need, lower funding, and attendance challenges suggests that while Meadowbrook has strengths in certain areas, it faces real obstacles in lifting overall achievement to match its higher-performing neighbors.
