Summary

Meadow Wood Elementary is a mid-sized school in Houston, TX, serving 686 students in grades PK through 5 within the Spring Branch Independent School District (Isd), and it has established itself as a consistently strong performer, currently holding a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th-87th percentile statewide.

Meadow Wood stands out as a reliable, above-average option in a neighborhood with extreme performance differences. For example, nearby Wilchester Elementary and Rummel Creek Elementary are elite, top-tier schools, while Thornwood Elementary and Askew Elementary face significant challenges. Meadow Wood’s consistent position in the 80th-87th percentile makes it a solid middle-ground choice. The school excels in reading and has a strong program for accelerating its highest-achieving math students, with a 100% proficiency rate reported for a small group taking advanced 6th-grade math. However, 5th-grade science is a relative weakness, with only 30.17% of students proficient, below the district average. A notable strength is the school’s performance with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 87th percentile in the most recent year, a significant improvement from the prior year.

Despite its overall success, Meadow Wood faces clear equity challenges. The school performs exceptionally well for its White students, ranking in the 92nd percentile, but struggles significantly with its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 25th percentile. This represents a large achievement gap. Additionally, performance for English Language Learners has sharply declined, dropping from the 70th percentile to the 33rd percentile in recent years. While the school is a stable and high-quality option for many families, addressing these widening gaps is key to reaching the next tier of performance.
