This school has been the worst first school for my kids. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone they tell you to send a snack for your child but then make them throw it away because the apparently the whole class has allergies and they have to watch everybody else eat which is cruel. Also my daughter’s teacher is never there I never know what is going on in the class some little girl snatched a necklace off her neck the other day and I couldn’t even ask the teacher what happened because she’s never there. The bus is always early in the morning and late in the afternoon never on schedule. You can’t go in the kids classes so you’ll never really know how your child is being treated or how they are learning. It’s just been a headache this whole year and my kids will definitely not be going here next year no way!!

unfortunate for the children that these experiences is their introduction to education. as a parent you feel helpless because so many schools that serve the black population behave similarly. There is no accountability for the conditions and treatment endured by black families in these schools.

From day one the staff at University Meadows has been welcoming and great with communication. The teachers my child has had thus far have all been great and have shown that they not only have a passion for teaching but truly care about the well being of their students. I'm so glad I overlooked the school's rating and enrolled my child at this school. We are proud to be a part of "University Meadows, University Bound!"

This school has been nothing but wonderful to me and my family. All of my children went to University Meadows and have showed much success from there academic studies. The students there were always on there best behavior and were very polite to me and my family. I got to know some of the staff and students. They always made my scholars feel special and appreciated. I thank them for that!

My child started University Meadow in first grade, every year since then my child has been moved from classroom to classroom due to fact teachers has been displace. Most of the time it took 3 month before placing my child in a stable class or child to adjust to new surrounding. The teachers focus more on who is the boss in classroom than who can I help to learn. There was no line of communicating with the parent emails are rarely answer and phone call may or may not get returned.. Just say I have had a bad experience with this school. Now we are getting ready for a new year. I email the principle (this is the third principle since we started) several times asking her to make sure my child be place in a class where there is lots of communicating with child.parent and teacher. We as a team can help my child to come up to part on her learning needs. The principle whom is very nice reassured me that my child has a teacher this year that will work strongly with me. I'm pretty sure this school has some great teachers here. Matter of fact I've heard parents sing the praise of some. Its just we haven't been that lucky. I guest we will see this year.
