Meadowfield Elementary School

My grand-daughter was in the fifth grade. I am extremely upset about the Awards Program held today (5/26/11) They could have & should have done better. It was the worst I have ever been to. Each class had a separate awards program which was senseless. They only had the principle & Teacher/Couselor present the award(s) & promotion certificate to each student. A lot of these students were on the Chorus & school Orchestra. My children attended this school 15yrs ago. I worked on the School Improvement Council as secretary to Senator Warren Giese. When they had their program the fifth graders had an excellent program. The program today was like they threw it together & didn't care. They didn't even have the homeroom teacher's nor students names listed on the program. I don't understand how the Principle could allow this or be please with it. One mother I talked with was very upset about the program. She stated that the way they had the program was not one of the choices they were given to vote on. She said that she do not know how they came up with it. They could have let the chorus & orchestra program held on 5/3/11 be a part of the Awards Program.THIS IS VERY DISHEARTENING! ! !

My child was a student in the gifted and talented program and I wasn't impressed with the curriculm as a result my child now attends another school with a rigorous curriculm. I wouldn't recommend sending your child to Meadowfield.

The Gifted and Talented Program at Meadowfield prepared my oldest child for a rigorous program at Hand Middle School. My youngest child is in the Gifted and Talented program as well and is a happy, confident learner. Way to go, Meadowfield!

Meadowfield is great! The principal is young, spirited, and interacts with the children on a regular basis. The school is constantly doing something to involve both students and parents. My children transferred to this school 3 years ago, and their grades have come up exponetially! I believe it is due in part to the motivation of both the principal and teachers. In fact 1 of the my 2 children made the honor roll all year. Another graduated from Meadowfield and went on to Middle school. She made the honor roll her entire year also. I highly recommend Meadowfiled Elementary school if your're moving to this area of town.
