Country Meadows Elementary School

My son is so ahead of where I was at his age and I was in an accelerated (gifted) class; their curriculum is fantastic; very hands-on and practical with real world connections and uses. The education my son is getting is first rate and they (the school) deserves to be rewarded to keep up the good work!

My Daughter attended Country Meadows 2004-06, third and fourth grades. I absolutely loved it. The curriculum was up to parp and challenged my daughter, whom is very smart may I add. The extra activities were beneficial she participated in orchestra in fourth grade and learned to play the base along with singing in chorus. I was involved with the schools PTO and art awarness programs, in which I enjoyed. It allowed me to stay involved with my daughter activities. After moving from the state of Illinois I now even more so appreciate the experiences and education Country Meadows offered my daughter.

This school is part of a district with high academic standards and high achieving students. While the students needs are met with a variety of programs (for both high and low students) many of the teachers lack experience: over half of the classroom teachers haven't taught for more than 5 years. The extracurricular activites are commensurate with a school serving grades 1-5: homework club, chorus, folk dancing, after school sports(intramurals), scrapbooking, etc. The students also have physical education each day, music twice a week, and art once a week. There is a wonderful computer lab and students use it as prescribed by the classroom teacher. The PTO does much for the school. They fund assemblies, organize many activities: Bingo Night, Book Fair, and Family Picnic, and they fund things like books for the library, playground equipment, and technology: software, cameras, etc. The lower grades have opportunities for parents to volunteer in the classroom.
