My two children have attended Meadowbrook for the last two years. I could honestly not make justice to how great this school has been to my kids. The Principal, Mr Thome, is truly a person who cares about his students. Every teacher we have had during these two years have been superb. The community at this school is super close and they welcome everyone. I wish my kids go to this school all the way through 12th grade.

Principal Thome is a wonderful leader and the staff is great. The teachers are very kind and have had positive impacts on all four of my girls.

My son was bullied at this school mentally and physically. They continuously swept things under the rug so they would not have to document it on their statistics. My son is not there anymore but had a lot of issues trusting adults after this school and the adults who didn't do what they should have to protect him. Shameful.

Depends on the teacher. The ONLY teacher I feel was fantastic was Mrs. Wetter. She was the only one who made a change to help my son.

My son learned me myself & I form this school. The only charity work they did was detached-send clothing off to those in need-no real connection. They didn't protect him when he was bullied and made him a bigger victim-how does that teach honesty, fairness & integrity? It teaches the OPPOSITE

Great School! My son loves his teachers. Great communication between teachers/principal and parents. I am very happy with our choice.

I'm grateful for the ability of the teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses of every child, and challenge where possible while nurturing the areas that are falling behind. I feel like my children are in very capable hands when I send them off to school. The parent and teacher commitment / involvement are both amazing. Mr Thome, the Principal, is commendable in his leadership despite coming in with a well-established community, everyone loves him including the kids. There would never be any reason to send a child to a private school if you live in this district. Proud parent of a Meadowbrook Star!

I'm really impressed with the Meadowbrook teachers, principal, and staff in this school. love the school size and class size, and the fact that the staff really makes our child feel supported. They are able to provide individual skills based learning, meaning that students are able to learn at their own pace and ability (not held back in the subjects in which they excel and/or given support they need in the areas they he needs a bit of extra help). I highly recommend this school and their wonderful teachers!

So incredibly impressed with Meadowbrook and everything it has to offer. The teachers are amazing and they offer programs there that are not found at most other schools. My daughter is in the first grade and she is learning Spanish! And the principal is so friendly and approachable. A+++++
