Original Research by School Decision on Meadow Point Elementary School
Meadow Point Elementary School is a regular public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the Cherry Creek School District, located in the sprawling, largely suburban city of Aurora. In a district known for its size and resources, Meadow Point is one of many elementary options across a city that covers a vast footprint of subdivisions, commercial corridors, and master-planned communities. Aurora itself is the third-largest city in Colorado, with major employers such as Buckley Space Force Base and the Anschutz Medical Campus anchoring the local economy. The school sits in a zip code where home values and rents both reflect a moderately high cost of living relative to national benchmarks, a pattern consistent with the Denver metro area’s broader housing pressures.
The student body is diverse in composition. Just over a third of students are Hispanic, roughly a third are white, and the rest are Black, Asian, multiracial, or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, indicating a community where economic need is present. Enrollment is of a size typical for an elementary school serving this grade band. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about how those populations are supported and what services are in place.
On state assessments, proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science all fell near the same modest level. In each tested subject, a minority of students met the state’s proficiency standards. Participation rates were high enough that the results are representative of the tested grades. The school’s overall proficiency index, which combines results across subjects and grades, places Meadow Point above the midpoint relative to other districts in Arapahoe County, though the index itself is below the top of the range among those districts. This means the school’s academic performance is not the highest in the county, but it is stronger than the median school in the comparison set. Within Cherry Creek, which serves a large and varied population, the context matters: the district has a wide range of elementary schools, and Meadow Point sits somewhere in the middle in terms of measured outcomes.
Several pieces of context that often round out a school portrait were not available. There is no information about the school’s disciplinary climate, chronic absenteeism, staffing ratios, or course access. Because the school does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report. A reader looking for a fuller picture of day-to-day operations or enrichment offerings would benefit from contacting the school or visiting.
For a family considering this option, the key characteristics are a mid-sized, suburban elementary with a diverse student body, a notable share of families with economic need, and proficiency results that are below the majority but above the midpoint when compared across the county’s districts. The Cherry Creek district provides a broader framework of resources, pathways, and programming that may shape the experience beyond what these school-level figures capture. The housing market in this part of Aurora is pricey relative to national norms, and the area’s growth continues along the eastern corridor and around the Anschutz campus, adding to the long-term context for residents.
