I am a parent of a child at this school and our experience here has been wonderful. I feel that the teachers are the real difference at this school, as they care very much about student learning and are well equipped to reach all types of students. We have been happy with our child's education and growth while at Medina Elementary.
This school is very much lacking regardless of purported test scores. Three principals in two years is ridiculous turnover. The front office acts as if you are bothering them even though you are volunteering your time at the school. There is too much of a competitive spirit there. My kid was at the top of his class both years he attended but he came home emotionally exhausted because everything seemed like a race. We've experienced two years of bullies and the administration doing nothing about it. Now there is a superintendent who is blocking the PTA from doing the very thing that used to make this school great: financing more qualified adults/teachers/specialists to give the kids the best education possible. The stats here on Great Schools are incorrect. We have 24-26 students in each class per one teacher with less than $6000 spent annually on each student. We are now losing all our specialists this year after having to give up our classroom aids. I would not recommend breaking the bank to live in this school's attendance area, especially with the new superintendent who is doing all she can to lower the bar at Medina.
This is a great school if you have an academically average to above average student. If there issues with kids that need extra help or who I would characterize as a "different" learner, this school can destroy a child's confidence. I know most of my neighborhood kids attend and are very satisfied, however, it's not for everyone. Too much stress and pressure waaaaay too young and it only gets worse as you move along up to the HS level.
Fantastic school. Public education made great through the efforts of staff, leadership, and parents. 5 Stars!
