Summary

Meadows Elementary School in Huntington, WV, serves 251 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and has become one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state, ranking 54th out of 355 schools (85th percentile) in the 2025-2026 school year.

This school has shown remarkable improvement over the past four years, climbing from a rank of 177th in 2021-2022 to its current position—a jump of 123 spots. The standout strength is mathematics, where 60.8% of students are proficient, far exceeding the district average of 42.8% and the state average of 39.4%. Reading skills also grow impressively as students advance: only 47.1% of 3rd graders are proficient in English Language Arts, but that number climbs to 64.9% in 4th grade and 71% in 5th grade, suggesting the school's teaching strategies really take hold over time. Science scores in 5th grade (51.6%) also beat district and state averages by wide margins. Perhaps most notably, male students at Meadows rank 18th out of 298 schools statewide (94th percentile)—an exceptional result that stands out because boys often lag behind girls in elementary reading. The school also does well supporting students from low-income families, ranking 61st out of 314 schools statewide.

Compared to nearby schools in Cabell County Schools, Meadows outperforms most of its neighbors. It ranks 2nd among 10 nearby elementary schools, trailing only Hite Saunders Elementary School (ranked 10th statewide). For example, Spring Hill Elementary School (ranked 314th) has just 40.9% math proficiency, and Guyandotte Elementary School (ranked 311th) sits at 30.8%. Meadows achieves these results while spending about $11,628 per student—less than several lower-performing nearby schools. The only area needing attention is 5th grade math (54.8% proficiency), which dips compared to 3rd and 4th grades, though this pattern is common across the district. Overall, Meadows offers a strong, improving education with particular excellence in math and support for all learners.
