Summary

Meadows Elementary is a K-5 school in the Plano Independent School District (Isd) serving 414 students in the eastern part of Plano, TX, and it stands out for its strong recent progress in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of need is a defining characteristic, setting it apart from nearby schools like Stinson Elementary (18.1% economically disadvantaged) and Harrington Elementary (29.0%), while aligning it with other high-need schools in the area such as Forman Elementary (83.9%) and Mendenhall Elementary (82.4%).

One of the most encouraging findings is the school’s dramatic improvement in serving its most vulnerable students. In just two years, Meadows has seen remarkable gains: special education students jumped from the 27th to the 72nd percentile statewide, English language learners rose from the 25th to the 67th percentile, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds moved from the 30th to the 60th percentile. This suggests that targeted interventions are making a real difference. Additionally, the school invests in smaller class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, which is lower than many peers like McCall Elementary (14.1:1) and Hickey Elementary (11.7:1), and spends more per student ($14,508) to support these efforts.

Academically, Meadows shows a unique strength in mathematics for students who take the STAAR test in English, with 3rd graders scoring 60% proficient and 4th graders scoring 68.6% proficient—both above the state average. However, performance on Spanish-language STAAR tests is significantly lower, and reading scores across all grades remain below state averages. The school’s overall state ranking has stabilized in the 40th-51st percentile over the last four years, earning a 2-star rating, which places it as the highest-ranked school in its high-poverty cluster but still behind more affluent neighbors like Harrington Elementary (96th percentile) and Stinson Elementary (75th percentile).
