Don't be fooled. The special education program at Meadow Creek is terrible, except for the special day class located on campus. The administration does not want to use a full inclusion model for addressing learning disabilities. Parents don't be fooled into believing that administrators, special education (resource teachers) and school personnel know what's best for your child. Be careful
I want to say that I am ecstatic about the performance of the new principal, Ms Pasos at this school. I feel as if the needs of the children are finally being put first and that discipline is finally being dealt with. The principal's open door policy is fantastic and I can honestly say that my confidence in this school has been lifted. Congratulations to Ms. Pasos and also to the school district for having the wisdom to bring her to this school. We need more principals like this one to insure our kids get a good education!
My son attends kindergarten (2008-2009 school year). So far, I have been pleased with his teacher and the level of attention given to my son by all faculty. However, I have heard from other parents that there is no emphasis on extra-cirricular activities, such as art or music. I am sure this is due to state budget cuts and our politicians thinking that these types of student interactions are considered to be fluff and unnecessary. I am sad that this will affect my bright little star.
Me being a student I personally love it. 2 things I hate is the cafeteria food and how dirty the school is. One of the biggest reasons that I love MCES is because they have a GATE program that I am in. I am also in Student Council. Other than the cafeteria food and the pollution everything else rocks.
There is now a new Principal at MCES and she is fabulous. We were not please with the previous principal but Mrs. Kavanaugh is so wonderful. She truly cares about the children and is very good with parent communication. The teachers are awesome. Ms. Turner (Mrs. Kerr) and Mrs. Grisham are just to name two of the wonderful teachers. There are even more great programs coming to the school. Mrs. Kavanaugh is bring in more programs for the children.
My children have benn going to this school sence it opened and the teachers are GREAT the staff is heppful but sometimes rude the new pricipal is much better and i'm sure it will only get better.
I have two children attending this school. The teachers are excellent and the kindergarten has a great reading program. I agree with other reviews about the Principal, but this person is now gone and there should be improvement in the future with the office staff because of the change in leadership.
Teacher seem to be good. Do not reccomend at this time.
The kindergarten program for my grandaughter haas been excellent. She is becoming quite a good reader and has a very good grasp of numbers, etc. I have had no problems whatsoever thus far.
We have attended this school since it opened in 2003 and it has been chaos. I used to volunteer at our old school but I stopped at this school because the office staff here is so rude and the principal is the rudest of them all. Although the teachers are great our experience has been bad. I wouldn't recommend this school.
