Summary

Meador Elementary in Houston, TX, is a PK-4 school in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd) serving 443 students in a predominantly low-income community, with a favorable 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

Meador has a history of strong performance, but recent years have brought significant volatility. The school’s state ranking has fluctuated wildly, dropping from the 75th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 32nd percentile in 2024-2025 before a slight recovery to the 40th percentile. This instability is unique among nearby schools like Laura Welch Bush Elementary and Frazier Elementary, which show more consistent trends. A standout strength is Meador’s bilingual program: in 2025-2026, 50% of 3rd graders taking the STAAR Spanish Reading test were proficient, well above the district (32.39%) and state (28.3%). However, a critical weakness is 3rd-grade math, where only 25.37% of students were proficient—dramatically lower than the district (36.57%) and state (44.33%). This is a stark contrast to nearby Atkinson Elementary, just 0.84 miles away, where 50% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, despite serving a similar community.

Meador spends $11,554 per student, higher than the district average, but its academic outcomes lag behind peers with similar or lower spending. For instance, Frazier Elementary spends more ($13,403) but ranks in the 77th percentile, while Laura Welch Bush Elementary spends slightly less ($11,425) and ranks in the top 10-20% of the state. This suggests Meador is not translating its resources into performance as effectively as its higher-achieving neighbors. Additionally, the school’s once-strong support for "At Risk" students (ranking in the 96th percentile in 2018-2019) appears to have diminished, and recent data shows a dramatic gender gap, with male students outperforming female students in 2024-2025. These trends highlight areas for parents to investigate further.
