Alexander Dawson School

This is a great little school, which a lot of strengths, however there are a couple of teachers you hope your kid doesn't get. We had a bad experience with one of the preschool teachers. The classroom was always a total mess, and the teacher was not welcoming. My child didn't want to go to school because he was afraid of her. Our older son did fine and we were impressed with his teacher. The STEM lab is really awesome. The school does a good job in general. Just ask around and make sure if you have a preschooler that you get the right teacher.

Love this school. We’ve been here for my child for 4 years and have had nothing but good experiences. They’ve handled every issue we’ve had right away with understanding and kindness. The principle is wonderful and all the kids love him.

We love Meadowlark! The school is project-based learning centric, which was new for us, but has been very enjoyable for my 3rd grader. In our experience after almost 2 years at the school, we have felt our son is learning a lot, enjoying his teachers and classes, and having great experiences with his classmates. They do a great job putting kids in cohorts for their skill levels. For example, our son is in advanced math, which he loves. We were initially concerned about the K-8 with bigger kids at the school, but they have the kids in grade “pods” (ex: 3rd and 4th spend time together) and there’s not a lot of overlap otherwise. The principal and APs are very engaged, the school communications are excellent, and the parent engagement opportunities are plentiful. We also use their before and after school program (SAC) and absolutely love it. The SAC program coordinators are excellent. The school itself is also modern and beautiful. We couldn’t ask for more! Our son is proud to be a Mav!
