Facebook war?? I like the school and my children excel there. I am NOT hostile..just defending the teachers and school that I approve of.

I agree with the comment from below and Dec 30th post! This school needs to be revamped immediately! I was called sugah also from the front office. They are unprofessional, and the teachers are robotic and well trained. It's not the teachers' fault, leadership comes from the top! The PTO is like a secret organization. The one who posted on Jan 2nd, is a clear example of the type of hostility that you will endure. The parent made the observation, and Jan 2nd turned this into facebook war! It's clear that this school has no warmth and do welcome you into their community!

had to delete my last post. I was to angry. I have decided the people who work in education should get paid based on the number of people they actually help. They should also get a huge pay cut if they give someone really bad information that isn't even close and hurts the children. Also, the next person to call me "Baby, honey, darlin'" is going to get it. *Spare me the scarastic comments...I know they are coming" haha

My child has attended two years and both were good years. Staff I encountered cared about the students overall and my child has learned a lot this past year and enjoyed school.

Meadowview has become an A plus school. I beleive this year will be a fantastic year!! The staff went through a week of training to be A plus. It brings a whole new meaning to learning.

I have had a terrible time trying to get face time with the principal to discuss my child's experience in Kindergarten. The staff has obvious problems, as they do not use discretion when complaining to one another in front of parents and students. Several teachers have expressed a lack of support and leadership is lacking to say the least. The leadership needs to read the book "The Secret" about servant leadership and put some new practices to work... immediately. I am truly disappointed!!!

WARNING! worst school ever....no stars!!! but would not let me submit with out at least one... nothing but problems with everything at this school: teachers, principle, students unruly. probably moving so our kids can go to different school. don't make your children go there! WARNING !!!! any good reviews are probably from the staff trying to cover up their embarrassing school.. sad for my children that they ever had to go.....

This school has gone down hill since its opening. A new principal word be a huge improvement. We have lost good teachers and I fear will continue to lose more. Something needs to be done.

Meadow View Elementary is an outsatnding school due to its caring teachers and professionalism. They strive to help all children learn and challenge them to their full potential. They have mounted LCD projectors in their classrooms to utilze wide screen interactive computer technology. They also have 2 computer labs, one in the library and one other classroom lab. I am inpressed with the building in itself. Its brand new and clean! They have an inclosed courtyard for safe outside play. This is a wonderful school with a caring staff.

Wonderful school, my son is in 3rd grade this year. His teacher last year was outstanding! He is now at a 4.8 grade level and doing great. The staff is always welcoming and eager to help.

This school is in its first year ('08-'09) and is doing pretty well. They have garnered a lot of experience by shifting teachers/administrators from other local schools. There is still a lot of gaps though (PTA, consistency of School-to-parent communications, etc.) that needs to be improved on. This takes every school some time to work out and will for Meadowview as well. Excellent building and facilities though! Would really give it 3.5 stars if I could.

No communication, can't get a meeting with the staff, not prepared for the first day of school.... Worst school my child has gone to. The only thing good about the place is the nice new building.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
