Summary

Meadow Glen Elementary, located at 510 Ginny Lane in Lexington, SC, is a public school serving 775 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly regarded Lexington 01 school district.

Meadow Glen is a top-tier academic performer, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide (4 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. Students here consistently score 10-20 percentage points higher than the state average on SC READY assessments. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 79.4% compared to 59.2% statewide, and 5th-grade math proficiency is 68.9% versus 49.1% statewide. The school also maintains an excellent student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, allowing for more individualized attention. One of the most striking differentiators is chronic absenteeism: only 8.2% of students are chronically absent, compared to 22.7% for the district and 22.3% for the state. This exceptionally low rate reflects strong student engagement and family support, which are foundational to the school's success.

What truly sets Meadow Glen apart is its efficiency and equity. It spends $14,334 per student—significantly less than nearby White Knoll Elementary ($18,359) and Oak Grove Elementary ($15,478)—yet achieves far superior results. For instance, Meadow Glen's 5th-grade math proficiency is nearly 25 points higher than White Knoll's. The school also excels at supporting all learners: it ranks in the 87th percentile for English Language Learners, the 89th percentile for disabled students, and the 96th percentile for gifted students. While it has seen a slight dip from its 5-star peak in the early 2020s, and faces healthy competition from Midway Elementary just 2.75 miles away, Meadow Glen remains one of the premier elementary schools in the Lexington area—a smart choice for families seeking high achievement, strong attendance, and responsible use of tax dollars.
