My son started Meadows at the beginning of this year in 5th grade- so far, I am impressed!

Extra curricular activities are well-rounded and well-funded - sports are supported, as well as chess club, homework club, band, choir, etc. They also have an excellent method for field trips - payment is collected in one sum at the beginning of the year.

My daughter has attended Madison Meadows for 2 years. She transfered from an under performing school and you can definately tell the difference in the assignments and homework. Expect a lot of homework and books back and forth. At first I thought she was never going to adjust to the increased load.
... Read more I am very pleased with the academics and her test scores. She has not participated in sports because of the homework load, but she is thoroughly enjoying the band program. They provide wonderful after school care for a reasonable fee and the children also enjoy several nice field trips. I do however wish the children were assigned lockers because one of her biggest complaints is carrying around all her books and folders all day, but a backpack with wheels worked. Read less
