My son attended kindergarten at Meadows last year in 2005. Because of all the negative attention that California public schools have been getting, I was initially skeptical, but I decided to enroll my son anyway. By the end of the school year, I was extremely impressed with how much my son had gained

I realize how much my son's teacher worked with her students to help them excel in their academic skills. I commend and have deep respect for all the teachers and staff of Meadows school for doing an excellent job in teaching and caring for our children. Read less

Only the second day of school, and safety laws and guidelines are not being enforced or followed. I think the uniform idea had an awful lot to do with corporate sponsorship. Totally Unacceptable.

Horrible school for acadamic achievement. Most Recent parent teacher conference I was told my 2nd grader was reading at 4th grade levles but the report card reflected ratings of twos for reading. 'Which means approaching grade level'. When pressed, teachers have admitted that skill levels of children
... Read more do not matter. The school rates all children low at the beginning of the year and gradually increases grades to years end. This is intentionally done to reflect improvement for state oversight functions. Example, my 6th grader was testing in the top 99 percent of the nation in math but only received 2s until the last semester. Advanced children are dispersed among under achievers and used to help teachers bring up general classroom scores. After several years of neglect, advanced kids are finally dumbed down to fit in. School uniforms are another issue. The staff is unwilling to speak about negative psychological impacts. Read less

Where to start. My son has been going to Franklin Mckinley School district for 2 1/2 years now. When he came into this school he was testing in the top 10% of the Nation on star tests. Now he is testing state averages of 40-50 percent. Teachers refuse to call parents when children are having scholastic
... Read more problems like turning in homework and severely lower grades on report cards without parent getting a chance to address the issue. From a parent teacher conference: Quote 'I cannot possibly call every parent who's child is having problems'. My daughter completed 1st grade last year. She received low markings on her report card in all subjects even when state standards and classmates were exceeded. The teacher actually admitted: Quote, 'Student scholastics do not matter. We mark low at the begining of the year and raise it each semester so the school meets state improvement reviews'. Read less
