Summary

Meadowlawn Elementary School in Sandusky, OH, serves 421 students in grades 3–5 as part of Perkins Local, a mid-ranked Ohio district. The school has generally sat near the middle of Ohio elementary schools: it ranked 778 of 1,560 in 2025–2026 (50th percentile, 3 stars), 851 of 1,558 in 2024–2025 (45th percentile, 2 stars), and 750 of 1,577 in 2023–2024 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). Over the past decade, it has mostly stayed between the 43rd and 57th percentiles with 2–3 stars, so families should see it as a stable, average-performing school rather than one that is sharply rising or declining.

Compared with nearby schools, Meadowlawn is clearly stronger than the Sandusky City schools and Monroe Preparatory Academy, but well behind several high performers. Woodlands Elementary School in Huron City Schools posts much higher proficiency—97% in 5th grade science versus Meadowlawn’s 60%, 92.5% in 5th grade ELA versus 69.6%, and 85.3% in 5th grade math versus 56.8%—even though its free/reduced lunch rate (36.33%) is nearly identical to Meadowlawn’s 36.58% and its student-teacher ratio is higher (19.3 vs. 17.5). Danbury Elementary School and Margaretta Elementary School also generally outperform Meadowlawn, while Edison Elementary has very strong 3rd grade results. This suggests Meadowlawn is a middle-of-the-pack school locally, not a struggling one.

Meadowlawn has real bright spots and clear gaps. Chronic absenteeism is a strength: 7.1% in 2025–2026, down from 12.0% in 2022–2023 and below the district’s 11.9%. Proficiency is above the state in 4th grade math (77.8% vs. 67.3%), 3rd grade ELA (66.4% vs. 63.4%), and 4th grade ELA (64.1% vs. 61.8%). But it is below the state in 5th grade science (60% vs. 62.7%), 3rd grade math (58.2% vs. 62.1%), 5th grade math (56.8% vs. 59.1%), and 5th grade ELA (69.6% vs. 70.4%), and 5th grade science has fallen sharply from 77.3% in 2023–2024. Effectiveness data also shows gaps for students with disabilities (12th percentile, 1 star) and low-income students (33rd percentile, 2 stars), making those groups the biggest opportunity if the school wants to lift overall results.
