On 2025–26 MCA assessments, Meadowview’s all-grade proficiency was 48.0% in Math, 46.2% in Reading, and 24.2% in Science. The school is above its district in all three subjects and above the state in Math, but slightly below the state in Reading and Science. Among Farmington elementary peers, Meadowview Elementary has the highest rank percentile, leads in Math and Science, and is second in Reading behind North Trail Elementary. Compared with nearby schools in higher-ranked districts, however, it trails Highview Elementary School, Great Oaks Academy - Grammar, Kennedy Elementary, Cherry View Elementary, and Lake Marion Elementary, which rank between the 75th and 91st percentiles, as well as Parkview Elementary at the 54th percentile.
The school’s trend is important: it was a 4-star school at the 74th–75th percentile from 2020–21 through 2022–23, then fell to 3 stars and the 59th percentile in 2023–24, and 2 stars at the 43rd percentile in 2024–25 before a slight rise to the 46th percentile in 2025–26. Proficiency has dropped sharply since 2022–23—Science from 67% to 24.2%, Math from 61.54% to 48.0%, and Reading from 59.12% to 46.2%. Math improved slightly from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Reading held steady, and Science continued to decline. Meadowview’s student–teacher ratio was 12.1 in 2024–25, the lowest among the compared schools, but nearby schools with larger ratios still produce much higher proficiency, suggesting class size alone is not driving results. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 32.17%, similar to North Trail Elementary and Akin Road Elementary. A bright spot is Special Education effectiveness, which ranks at the 71st percentile with 4 stars, above the school’s overall rank; English Language Learner effectiveness is also above average at the 53rd percentile, while low-income student effectiveness ranks 41st, below the school overall.
