We love Meadowbrook School. The principal is outstanding and sets the perfect tone for the teachers and students. He handles every situation that arises with class and a fair, loving approach. The teachers genuinely care about the success of the students and practice great communication with parents when needed. I feel that my children are safe when I drop them off at Meadowbrook School each day.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Dakota used the Dakota State Test of Educational Progress (Dakota STEP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math. The Dakota STEP is standards-based, which means it is aligned to South Dakota's educational standards and measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state. The standards-based Dakota STEP results are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
