Meadows Elementary School

Very big let down. The communication between parents, teachers and administration is lacking to say the least. The administration absolutely does not back the teachers needs in the classroom setting. Poor follow through with regards to classroom/homework assignments. Parents are completely unaware of testing from week to week...unless they ask repeatedly. I would not recommend this school to anyone unless a major overhall to the administration is in place.

My daughter attends this paticular school and I see nothing wrong with the teachers challenging the children and making them do work assignments on there own instead of holding the childs hand.From here on out it only gets harder in school so teaching them life skills at this age in life is a great thing.Anything in life is better worked for than just given to.Yes,this school is very different from our prior school but don't we want our children to be challenged threw life.It will make you a stronger adult.I have no problem with this school and if you do so the teachers are on top of things that day.

Hot or cold. some teachers are great some are not. Ms Johnson taught my kid nothing...when we went to our new school they asked if my kid even attended first grade!

My daughter attended this school for three years and we loved it (and miss it!). The office staff is kind and helpful and the principal is joy- always with a smile on her face. The PTA is great and we loved the Cluster classes. I was a tad dissapointed in our kindergarten experience, but 1st and 2nd grade were phenomenal! Great school!

I had one son attend K, 1, and 2nd; my other son attended preK and 1st. Excellent communication between the teachers and parents. a variety of extracurricular activities were available (reading club; spiritual club among others). Classes were taught in 'cluster', meaning kids who tested high at the beginning of the year were grouped together in one class. This challenged the entire class and promoted excellent learning. The PTA was very active. The security of the school was also very high...id's were required to enter and to pick up a kid if you weren't the parent. The school environment was fairly strict...walking on the right wall, single file in the hallways with hands behind their backs; lunchroom was for eating and not loud talking; etc. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience with Meadows and my boys really enjoyed going there.

This school is a wonderful addition to our family. We had lived off for the past 5 years so when we decided to make the move back to post i had been quite worried about my son and how he would handle a new school. The staff at this school made my son adore it from day one. he has learned a lot and is quite intrigued by all the extras this school has to offer. my son met nick jonas today at school and that is just a small glimpse of one of the many things this school does to improve moral.

This is my sons first year here (3rd grade) and we love it so far. The staff is friendly and helpful - they really seem to care about kids - Our last school was a horrible experience so this year has come as a surprise and blessing for me! I wish we could stay forever!

My daughter attended Meadows for 3 years. We saw staff changes, building changes, and attitude changes. However, Meadows is still one of the best schools in the District. The school has book clubs, an involved PTA, tutoring, and even a robotic's team (Regional Champions, might I add). While every school has challenges, Meadows' staff strives to bring out the best in the students. I would recommend Meadows Elementary to anyone that wants to give their child a learning environment where the teachers really care about their students.

My son adjusted to this school in about 4 weeks , which was great comming from a private school. His teacher is very helpful. Safety is great. He loves the new playground. the lunches are less than $2. and the breackfasts for $1.30 are wonderfull. I don't have to cook anymore. He loves them. Great school all around.
