Meadow Heights Elementary School

Our daughter moved from Foster City Elementary to Meadow Heights this year. She absolutely loves it. The school is small and more diverse, which is great for us. Teachers, staff and other parents are very engage on helping kids be successful. The new principal has been great at communicating, listening and asking for input from the community on how to keep improving our school. My child is creating lifelong connections and making friends with kids from our new neighborhood.

Outstanding group of teachers, no weak links. The school is a nice, small size. Great group of local parents. Previous principal was here 9 years, and was great (she continues to work for the district); her replacement comes with great reviews. Parents from nearby districts often transfer in to Meadow. Very good facilities also, and a new building is on the way. I have two kids here, K and 3rd, and I think it's great that my kids are getting experience with the real world, not only children from wealthy families. I do not feel like my kids are shortchanged in any way.

Between the students, principal, staff, and parents, I feel like this is a very strong school community. The PTA is very active in providing volunteers, enrichment, and fundraising to support programs at the school. There is very low teacher turnover at the school, which is a good sign of a positive work environment with dedicated teachers. I am very happy with my son's experience at the school, and look forward to sending my daughter here when she is older.

As a parent of two children attending Meadow Heights in 2nd grade, our family is fortunate to be in this school district. When I was looking for homes, I checked out reviews because test scores don't always tell the whole story, as in this case. The leadership here is now very experienced, the parents are involved and the teachers we've had so far genuinely focus on each student's success. I appreciate the diversity at this school - everyone seems to care deeply about building community, in their words and actions. The school could use more funding, as they all could! I am confident that the test scores will ultimately reflect what an amazing gem this school is.

Both my girls went here, with the youngest just graduating this year. Great teachers and great community.
