This school is one of best around. The staff and the principal all care for the students and do a wonderful job. Students are encouraged to do their very best and it shows in test results.

The quality of academic programs at Meadow Lane School are adequate. My son has learned a lot from his teacher Ms. Brown. As far as the music program that is an enjoyable experience. The extracurricular activities could be much better. The homework after school club could be an art club or a sports club. Really, the kids should be doing their homework at home. Most parents work full-time jobs. So, I can guess the parent involvement is few.

I am a teacher employed by Meadow Lane School. I am very proud to say that I Love coming to work daily. I am very fortunate to work with people who are compassionate, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about teaching children. The quality of education stems from the fact that my coworkers are continuously updating there methods/styles of teaching. Programs are offered after school with varied interests in mine. 5th Graders may join the band. This program allows students to interact with each other and gain respect, and knowledge for playing an instrument as well as being part of a wonderful group. I have been fortunate enough as a 5th Grade Teacher to have had wonderful parent support over the last few years. I think it is grand when parents want to support their child(ren). This is an awesome school in my book.
