Academic programs seem to be kind of on grade level. My son is part of their 'gifted' program, so much more is expected of him. They don't have enough extracurricular activities at all. They sometimes have a music class and gym but that's it. Parents aren't much involved. I believe that the children

I am grandparent to two children at Meadowview School. My grandson is in fourth grade and my granddaughter is a fifth grader. I tutor them both after school using one of the Hippo based computer programs. My children only work at grade level because of the extra help that I give them I feel. I am

I am currently very strongly considering removing them from Meadowview because I don't think they get the motivation necessary to promote learning. I have tried to go online to access a couple of programs that were sent home stating they were to aid the children, but they are not available as stated. I am very willing to work along with the teachers if only the school would make the programs available. Read less

Although Meadowview has indicated it has improved to meet 'The No Child Left Behind' program, the academic standards are poor. The bar has been lowered to make it easier to reach instead of the academics raised to meet the bar. I tutor my grandson and am disappointed to see the repetition of single

I think that this school is one of the worst schools I've ever known. Then again every school in this district is the pits.
