The Meadowbrook School of Weston

We've been thrilled about the quality of the experience for our child. Excellent academics, with just enough gentle pushing to challenge the bright ones without creating a lot of stress. Small classes, excellent facilities, generally superb teachers. Even more, we like the administration, which has done a terrific job recruiting teachers to the new-ish middle school and creating an environment where cliques and backstabbing are not a problem. Relations among students are friendly even among those that aren't close friends. Support in applying to high schools is very good, with on-target advice and excellent work on the recommendations. We almost didn't look here, as the consultant we were using (we knew nothing about the scene) wrinkled his nose and said 'well, the parents are kind of glitzy and there are a lot of expensive cars in the pick-up line. But the kids are really nice and they work hard.' So correct!

Meadowbrook is an excellent school. The teachers really get to know the kids and have been very responsive to us when necessary. My kids have had a number of superb teachers. They do set high standards for academics so it's best to make sure that is what you want to sign up for. Fabulous arts and very safe environment for kids to branch out--kids end up doing a lot of performing in plays/skits in front of the school. My daughter was very shy about singing in front of an audience before she entered kindergarten; a year later she'd jump onto the school stage with her classmates. They've recently started teaching Spanish beginning in kindergarten. Good athletics--the middle school teams do very well against much larger schools. Have excellent placement to secondary schools. Bottom line--my kids love going there and our family has found a welcoming community.

Meadowbrook is a fantastic school. The academic program is extremely impressive. The classes are small so the students all receive considerable attention. Meadowbrook offers a broad challenging curriculum and has an amazing group of teachers to enrich each students experience. All students at Meadowbrook participate in music (3-4 days/week), sports (4 - 5 days/ week), and art (drawing, ceramics, wood working, etc...) (3-5 days/week). Each of these activities is taught by a dedicated specialist. There is a high level of parent involvement at Meadowbrook. Parents support the students and faculty in many ways including but not limited to community service, fundraising, marketing, financial advising,strategic planning, planning social events, chaperoning field trips, and sharing any relevant interests with the students. Meadowbrook is a truly a great school!
