Village Meadows Elementary School

We’ve attended another school in the district where they lacked communication between staff and parents but not here. Don’t judge this school by its location, the teachers and students seem genuinely happy to show up every day and we’ve not had any issues with safety concerns. I’ve observed while attending “crafts with parents” and have seen the teachers taking the time to address each student if concerns and compliment their hard work. Some have been there for 15+ years but still enjoy the growth they help their students achieve. Both of my kids have said they’ve preferred this school over the other and I’d have to agree!

There is a lack of support at this school. There are a few WONDERFUL teachers but the bad impact learning and growth for the kids. The few wonderful educators are saints for sticking it out, in my opinion. The staff receives little support and many skate by with below average attitudes and teaching abilities. Kids are immediately behind, funding is poorly dispersed. The kids have sat in the parking lot for assemblies, add in its Arizona and hot. Overall, the subpar teachers are given a pass because they need to fill slots and the WONDERFUL teachers are leaned on too much.

I am a former student here. You might see that one four dots that I rated right? I put that there because there is no fights, because it’s such a small school. That’s probably the only decent thing about this hell hole. The main reason on top of trillions of other reasons, is the teachers (especially the STEM). They punish so harshly without any warning. The fourth grade teacher in 2025 is the worst teacher I’ve had in any school I’ve been to NOT SAYING ANY NAMES.(I’m not in fourth grade anymore for all the people who think I’m overreacting). I swear every teacher that works here doesn’t care about the students, they care about a paycheck. PLEASE-DON’T SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!
