I have at least 1 child attending Mountain Meadow since 2005. The teachers and staff there are top notch from Pre-School to 5th grade. Everyone has the well being of the students at heart. I spend time in the school as a volunteer and am amazed at how it seams most the staff know all the kids by name. There are alot of really wonderful opportunities for parents to get involved, both in the classroom and through PTA. It is so rewarding to make a difference in the lives of these children while being a part of a supportive school community.

Great school! The staff and teachers really care about the kids in all the grade levels at this school. My youngest daughter has attended Mountain Meadow since KG and we have been very happy with her education and care she receives. I will be sad to see her move onto the middle school next year but know that they given her a great learning and social foundation to suceed. They have a wonderful drumming program that our daughter is involved in and we really enjoy the concerts and how it has enriched our lives. The staff at Mt. Meadow always encourages parent involement with the school and I was a litte taken back when I volunteered for the last field trip and the teacher had to relay the new to many of us that she had too many chaperones, you don't come across that everyday.

The principal is awesome and she has hired wonderful staff. The only change I would make is an extra curriculum spanish program.

This is my childs second year in MM, we moved out of district and started this year at another school but after much frustration we went back to MM. The principle is amazing and makes each child feel very speacial. The Staff really strives to encourage all children to do there very best and helps them every step of the way.

Myself and my children have gone to this school. It is a wonderful school for kids to grow up in. I think that with all the learning that my children do they will gorw up to be doctors or lawyers.

My childern have been going to this school for six years. I would not chance a thing. The staff is very nice and polite. The principal goes into the classes to help the kids. The way the staff treats the kids and family is the best I have ever seen. I would recommened this school to anyone who ask about it.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
