Meadowbrook Elementary School

My family moved from South Carolina where our child attended a STEM-curriculum charter school. She was doing OK-ish, there was a lot of teacher turnover and the special services process was very delayed. Our child struggled to read and as parents, we struggled with knowing what to do to help. Once at Barton Chapel we saw immediate improvement in reading ability and confidence! Special needs assessments were handled quickly and professionally. The administration and teachers have been great.

My child absolutely loves attending this school. Since the new school has been built, I can definitely tell that the admins and staff truly care about their students. I've never seen my child so excited about coming to school every morning. Thank you.

This is easily one of the worst school in Richmond County and there is not one person who cares to make it any better. The school's staff, the Board of Education, and the Richmond County Sheriff's Office all turn a blind eye to anything going on here. DO NOT ever enroll your child at this school. They'd be better off asking educational questions at the Shell station down the road.

The principal and assistant principal are terrible. No leadership or ownership. No guidance. Nothing for the kids to look forward to. It’s like the kids are in prison. It’s more like an alternative school with animals. I wouldn’t recommend this school at all

Most teachers are mean and rude. Also, doesn’t help much on children with learning disabilities. This school is dirty and has cockroaches from what my children have told me. There is a lot of bullying that takes place there to.

Diamond Lakes Elementary is a school with heart. The caring teachers, supportive environment, and emphasis on student recognition make it a positive place for children to grow. While there are challenges—particularly around academic performance and communication—the school shows real potential, and I believe with continued focus and parent involvement, it can improve further.
