I love Meadow Heights for my 1st grader. My younger daugther will be there next year. Meadow Heights has great leadership - our principal is very involved, very dyanmic, cares about the kids, is an activist for our school's interests and helps develop her staff. Second, parents are involved.
... Read more The PTA is extremely active with activities planne throughout the year. Parents volunteer in the class room as well. Third, while focused on making sure kids get a good education, it's relatively laid back. Sure, I'm an anal MBA like other parents in the area, but people in this school aren't maniaclly focused on just making sure their kid becomes the next Einstein. Rather, there is a sense of community with a focus on making sure the staff and students are happy and thriving. For public school, you can't beat it. And I love the diversity (and cost of public school) Read less

This is a great school with an excellent principal, gifted, involved teachers, and most of all, a very strong parent community. I concur with other reviewers who say that test scores don't tell the whole story and in fact are very misleading. (Look at the detailed breakdown to get a better picture).
... Read more The PTA is extremely active and funds PE and Art, among other things (some of which are not available in areas such as Palo Alto). The small size of the school gives it an even stronger neighborhood feel and parents take a very active role in their children's education. Read less

The principal is truly an inspiration and her strong leadership drives both the teachers and students to excel to their fullest potential.
... Read more If you are evaluating potential schools for your child, be sure to look beyond the test scores and get to know this fantastic neighborhood school. Due to the small size of the school, the test scores are unjustly weighted by the two special day classes held here. Meadow Heights is truly a gem and I look forward to being a part of this school's community for the next 7 years. Read less

I have a 10 year old son with dyslexia he has attended the special day class at Meadow Heights for the past two years. Previously he attended two other schools and when I look back and compare - it was not until he attended the Meadow Heights class that he started to make progress. At Meadow Heights
... Read more the Special Day classes are included in all mainstream field trips (which is not the norm in my experience - they were always left out in the previous schools). Because they are included in all activities I see my son with a stronger self esteem then previously. Meadow Heights has a wonderful Principle who is very active and very approachable. Read less
