Summary

W Lloyd Meador Elementary is a K-5 school in Willis, TX, serving 706 students within the Willis Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant challenges but where this school shines as a top performer.

Meador Elementary consistently earns 3- or 4-star ratings, making it a standout in the Willis ISD, which overall holds a 2-star rating. In recent testing, Meador outperformed the district average in every subject and grade level. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency at Meador (62.1%) far exceeded the district average (44.34%) and even surpassed several schools in the neighboring Conroe Independent School District (Isd), such as Giesinger Elementary (58.27%) and Reaves Elementary (46.23%). The school is particularly strong in mathematics, beating the state average for three consecutive years, and shows notable effectiveness with its African American and low-socioeconomic status students, earning 4-star ratings for these groups. This is a stark contrast to nearby district schools like C C Hardy Elementary (7th percentile) and Edward B Cannan Elementary (36th percentile), which struggle significantly.

Despite these strengths, 5th-grade science is a persistent weakness, with proficiency rates below the state average for three years. The school also shows volatility in subgroup performance, such as English Language Learners, which jumped from a 0-star to a 4-star ranking in recent years. Notably, Meador achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($8,536) compared to peers like Anderson Elementary ($12,264), suggesting efficient resource use. Overall, Meador Elementary is a bright spot in Willis ISD, offering strong academics, especially in math, while working on areas like science.
