Summary

Meadow View Elementary is a K–5 school in Jacksonville, NC, serving about 520 students in the Onslow County Schools district. The school currently ranks in the 22nd percentile of North Carolina elementary schools with a 1-star rating, and about 61% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

In nearly every tested subject and grade, Meadow View's proficiency rates fall below both district and state averages. Reading is the biggest concern, especially in 5th grade, where just 37.9% of students are proficient compared with 54.6% across the district and 55.3% statewide. The school's state ranking dropped sharply from the 40th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 22nd percentile in 2025–2026, driven largely by significant declines in 4th and 5th grade reading. Nearby Southwest Elementary, which serves a similar low-income population just a few miles away, ranks at the 60th percentile, showing that poverty alone doesn't explain the academic gap.

There are some encouraging signs. Meadow View's Special Education students rank in the 56th percentile statewide compared with the same subgroup elsewhere, a notable strength. Chronic absenteeism is 19.2% — better than the district's 22.7% and the state's 24.2% — and the student-to-teacher ratio is a favorable 13.8:1. However, military-connected students rank at the 6th percentile, a concern given Jacksonville's close ties to Camp Lejeune, and per-pupil spending of $8,585 is lower than most nearby elementary schools.

We absolutely love this school! Can't say enough good things about the teachers here! Close Quote

I am terribly disappointed in this school's leadership and support. I cannot seem to get 5 minutes of the principal's time to discuss my child's experience in his Kindergarten year so far. I have some concerns and some praise to report... neither will be entertained. The attitude of some of the staff is very poor. I attribute that to the low moral that is transparent throughout the school. Close Quote

I completely agree with the February review by a parent. The principal is a joke in her own school. Close Quote

This school is a shame. They are more worried about parking policies and pick-ups, fund raising, socializing, gossiping, than actually Teaching. If i could i wouldnt even give it one star.. Such a dissappointment, Brand new school too, what a waste.. It could still be saved,, throw out everyone in front office, and a few of the bad apple teachers. Until then doomed for continued low ranking, low rating. Close Quote
