Summary

Meadowbrook Elementary - 10 is a public elementary school located in Rapid City, South Dakota, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 454 students. It is part of the Rapid City Area School District 51-4, which is ranked 112 out of 147 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadowbrook Elementary - 10 consistently outperforms the Rapid City Area School District and the state of South Dakota in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 57.2% of Meadowbrook students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.48% for the district and 50.93% for the state. The school also stands out for its support of diverse student groups, ranking highly for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, often placing in the top 20% of South Dakota elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds is more mixed.

While Meadowbrook Elementary - 10 is a high-performing school, the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.0% in 2021-2022 to 31.3% in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention. When compared to other elementary schools in the Rapid City Area School District, Meadowbrook stands out as a high-performing school, consistently outperforming its peers in academic achievement and student group performance. However, nearby schools like Corral Drive Elementary - 21 and Pinedale Elementary - 11 also demonstrate strong academic performance and may provide valuable insights or best practices that could benefit Meadowbrook.
