Meadow Hall Elementary School

I have never seen a school in MCPS who cares about their students quite like Brookhaven ES. I wish I could have my son stay here but sadly, he is in 5th grade this year. I highly recommend this school because they care about their students not only academically, but also, emotionally. I will never forget one time, I have received a phone call from one of the teacher telling me how my son was acting different about two days in a row. And I know my son is a very active and positive child. So I went to talk to him and he shared what was bothering him and I gave him my advise and since then I felt more connected to him at his age. I knew then, I wasn’t absent on that stage of his life. And I thank them because they are very involved with the students and parents. I love this school, I have way too many stories why this is a perfect school to get your child start up with. Go bobcats!

First three years at Maryvale (English program) have gone great for my kiddo. Ms. G is a world-class teacher, there are tons of afterschool events (talent show, international night, game night, spring fling, etc.), the PTA is active, and the school building itself is new and well-kept. Breakfast at the school is free for all kids and class sizes are low - 15 students in my kid's class - though surely other grades aren't quite that lucky. 5 stars; would recommend.

I have a son who currently attends RCV and he loves it. I love the community at RCV. Everyone is so welcoming and Mr. Lee (Principal) is truly the best, He is a strong advocate for the kids at RCV ensuring that they meet every milestone. The PTA is always great! We love RCV! Go Eagles!

I've had the pleasure of watching my child grow from a young student to a confident fifth grader at this amazing school. What I love most is the strong sense of community - we know each other, bump into each other in the neighborhood, and even swim together! The after-school programs are fantastic, and my family has learned so much about diversity, empathy, and social issues. My child will grow up understanding and appreciating differences. The teachers are caring and dedicated, and the nurse is particularly special - she genuinely prioritizes the kids' safety and well-being. I'm grateful for this school and the values it's instilling in my child.

We initially transferred our children to St. Jude seeking an in person school experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. We have been pleasantly surprised by the academics, student support, sense of community and stellar leadership at this school. Our children are happy and they are learning so much. We plan to keep them at St Jude even if the local public schools open in the fall.
