Meadows Elementary School

The school is alright for Special Needs class. I was surprised someone was let go that my autistic son was used to. I feel sorry for Jimmy but he is a darn good teacher.

I think I agree with you , my son just started attending the meadows and he is mean now ,he is unhappy and withdrawn . Im really concerned this may not have been the best choice

When school lines were redrawn last year, a group of students from Meadows transferred to the school my children attend. The older students were mean, disruptive bullies who have made things very difficult for the students who were already attending the school. This just shows that Meadows doesn't teach students respect and empathy for others and now we have to suffer for their shortcomings.

My kids and I are very satisfied with the caring staff, activities, and atmosphere of Meadows. Teachers care about students and work before and after school to make sure they receive a quality education. It's a wonderful school and I would recommend it for everyone!

All the staff and teachers go above and beyond to make school a great experience for all the children and help them suceed in all ways.

We have the best volunteers ever!!! Our school is a very close school with many who care about the kids. The teachers and parents go beyond their means to give the kids everything they can so they can get ahead in life and enjoy school.

My child has gone to Meadows for 2 years now and I would not send her anywhere else. I had heard various negative things about Meadows yet I have not experienced anything negative about this school. In fact it is quite the opposite. Meadows has wonderful, dedicated teachers who truly care about educating their students. The afterschool programs that Meadows has offered over the years have been free of charge and full of educational opportunities. Meadows is a shining star among North Thurston Public Schools and doesn't deserve the negative comments I have heard over the years.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the years that my children have spent at this school! The staff and teachers are absolutely wonderful and very dedicated to the students. My son actually enjoys going to school now and even applies himself to his studies! For a kid who use to hate school, the enthusiasm he has now makes me overjoyed! This would not have been the case if not for the wonderful administrators at Meadows Elementary!

This school has been through some battles, but it's finally turning around. The principal has fought to get quality teachers and get more support from the district and community. What a nice change to have someone who supports their staff and allows their staff to then support their kids.

After a couple of years of administrative turmoil, Meadows has stabilized. The staff at Meadows is very caring, genuine, and dedicated to each child's success. Many schools have to charge $ for after school activities, but Meadows offered an after school art class last year for free. The Monday Milers program is wonderful - no supplies to buy, kids just run, get healthy and learn about a continent along the way. The Passport Geography club was initiated in 2006. Meadows seems truly interested in its students success, both socially and academically. I do wish that there were more active parent volunteers. It just seems to me that we all should take some responsibility for our children's education.
