School of International Studies at Meadowbrook

Posted August 18, 2009

I am an eigth grade student at the school of international studies at meadowbrook. This school is very easy to me. I am a straight A student here so of course it is easy for me. It is challenging for many other fellow peers. at this school, you are able to skip the ninth grade if you have enough high school credits or you can take courses over the summer for ninth grade if you do not have enough high school credits.

My daughter graduated from Meadowbrook three years ago and is excelling in high school. Due to both of our experience at Meadowbrook, my entire family prayed that my grandson would go there. He made it! The principal was strict, yet fair and very very concern about all of the students. The teachers were caring, gave 100% of themselves to all the students, regardless of whether a child was in his or her class or not, and encouraged each and every one of kids to do their best. The kids were outstanding and the friends my daughter made there are still strong today. This school is Norfolk Public School System hidden'Jewel' and I would tell any parent, if your child is willing to work and if you can look beyond the uniforms (which I think is the thing yet), this is the place for your child.

Meadowbrook is an amazing school. Although it is very, very tough and pretty prestigious. I'm an eighth grader here and have been going here since sixth grade. I'm actually very sad and scared to leave, even though I put up that 'Whatever, can't wait to get outta here' attitude. When you first make it in, you're so frickin' excited you can't stand it! After a while, some of the teachers are so annoying you just wanna leave, but you don't. When it's your final year and graduation is around the corner, especially if you're a girl, you find yourself more upset than usual. I know for me it's because I've become so close to this school and to everyone here, even those you can't stand. I've recently found myself in tears because I'm so attatched. This school provides a closeness that you can't get anywhere but here. We love it alot.

I gave this a 4 because it is missing one crucial thing, extracurrical activies for the kids mainly athletic sports, if only they would address that and make it easier for our kids to be bussed to a school that would allow them use of their fields.
