It's a terrible school that told my parents I'd never make it to college, which made me feel less than everyone else and led me to doubt my academic abilities; however, I proved them wrong by graduating with the highest honors from a four-year institution.
Posted by a community member on 4/29/2026Same group of people revolving in the building year after year with an understanding to keep their paychecks by eliminating new hires repeatedly.
Posted by a parent on 11/13/2024Horrible untrained teacher and manager is unorganized and I didn’t advise any parent to enter their children to this horrible place !!!
Posted by a parent on 9/30/2023Amazing. The entire staff from principal to security guard are great with the kids and takes their jobs seriously. Always a pleasure to see!
Posted by a parent on 12/21/2019Terrible. All around terrible. They need to get rid of the principal and train the teachers. I pay a lot of money in taxes. These people are not effective and are getting paid a good salary for the rest of their lives to be average at best.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers at Wolf Hill are very kind and caring. A big thanks to Mrs. Dwyer who really cares about the children and who went to bat for the kids and their education. She gives all her energy and love to the kindergarten students. We have her to thank for giving our children a great start to their learning and years at Wolf Hill. There was a study done that found that a kindergarten teacher is the most influential person in a child's life up to 8th grade. Teachers like Mrs. Dwyer really do shape the future young adults. During this time of school at home we can really appreciate all the hard work and dedication of teachers. Thank you Wolf Hill teachers!!!Parent Review5y ago - Meadowbrook Elementary School

They also get to experience a lot of exciting activities: theater, yoga, journalism, a science competition with other schools, MAST's Jeopardy-style competition, sports, community fundraising.
