Meadow View Elementary School

Let me say this school only get an 'average' review because of the principal. The teachers we've had over the past 6 years have been fabulous! My son has not seen the principal once this entire school year (which is now almost over) That is ridiculous! She has no clue the names of any of the 'good' students. The asst. principal is great and makes frequent stops into the kid's classrooms. The school has gone paperless, as many have, but the website is horrible! It is June and 'current school newsletter' is from Feb. I really feel for the teachers that have to work here.

Teachers are experienced and positive, class size is small, principal needs to be more involved in getting to know kids, nice community feel. Spanish is a nice addition and the Kinderclub is good.

I love my student's teacher and the other children at the school have accepted and welcomed my daughter as a new student. I just wish there were more after school clubs to get involved with. I also don't like the specials schedule alternating weeks. I personally believe that all kids this age need to have PE, Art and Music every single week!

I do love this school and have a very high regard for the teachers. Yet, the principal at this school is not very hands on and is scarce at student functions, ie, talent shows, graduations etc. I think the principal at this school can try and make more of an effort to show her face. Walk the hallways, visit classrooms etc. I don't think many of the children have ever even seen or met her. Very disappointing!

We are new to Castle Rock and have 2 children attending Meadow View. There is quite a bit of parent involvement at this school. The academics are solid and my children are being challenged to succeed further. We've been happy with the correspondence from the teachers. My daughter has had a bit of trouble mixing with the girls here . . . making good friends has been slow to develop. My son has had no problems. Both enjoy their teachers.

I absolutely love this school! I volunteer in my child's classroom, so I get to see first-hand the way the school is run, from the security, to the wonderful students, to amazing teaching. In my child's classroom, the teacher does an outstanding job of teaching the children at the level they need to be taught, and keeping those children together. The teacher understands that many kids need to be challenged, and she takes care of that. No child is left behind with learning, and no children are left bored. I am extremely pleased with this school!

Meadow View is a nice school in the Meadows. I do not believe that there are too many problems there, Academically the school is great and the teachers are very good.
