GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My son has attended Meadow View for nearly two years, for both first and second grade, and our experience has been great. From the principal and vice principal to the teachers, staff, and school resource officer, everyone is warm, supportive, and truly engaged.Communication is excellent, with the school keeping families well informed about updates and events. My child has loved both of his teachers, which speaks to the quality of the staff.The school hosts fun, creative after-school events—like a Christmas-themed night and a space-themed event last year—that my child always looks forward to. There’s a strong sense of community, with plenty of opportunities for family involvement.Overall, I highly recommend Meadow View to any family looking for a supportive and engaging elementary school.

"I love this neighborhood but I would love to see some sidewalks put in because there are so many families with children and pets around here and they have to walk in the streets which can be a major safety hazard. I would also like to see some more corner stores or other major retail stores in closer distance as well because you do need a car to go to a store out here in which there are no stores within walking distance or close by. The nightlife here is also not very much mainly just a bar is all I have seen so far since living here. You would have to go to Jacksonville to enjoy any nightlife and I think it would be nice if there were more entertainment choices here in Richlands. The only public transportation I have seen are cabs or taxi's. It would be nice if they had some public buses that come to our area as well. Other than that I love this neighborhood because of its friendly people and pet-friendly environment."
