My family has had a wonderful experience at Meade Heights. I have a child that has graduated from the school and two other children that are currently enrolled. The teachers have been responsive to my children's needs and have been able to effectively communicate with me. Ms. Otwell is a wonderful PreK teacher and my child is thriving. Meade Heights has been a wonderful school where it seems the students needs are put first. The new principle Mrs. Foster is easy to talk to and seems very involved with the students progress at the school.

Overall my family has had a great experience with Meade Heights Elementary School. I am surprised they are rated as low as they are, but there are a lot of students from military families that move frequently, and I hear that can effect the schools ratings on this site. My advise would be to take a tour of the school and decide for your self. Also I will say all the poor reviews I could find are 10 years old or older, so it's likely the problems they complained about were gone by time my kids began attending.

I really love this school! The teachers and administrative staff at this school are just wonderful!! I have nothing but good things to say about them! They work towards educating the family as "whole". I am not sure why the ranking is so low but this school has done the most amazing job in educating my child. My daughter was reading fluently in Kindergarten thanks to the amazing teachers at this school ! I give them a perfect 10!!

My daughter has been going to Meade Heights since 2013 when she started Kinder. We love the teachers and the school. I have never had any problems with the staff, the teachers or other students. Dnt understand the low rating of this school.

Amazing administrators and staff! Really the most positive principal I've seen. My child's teacher was great too. She only attended Meade Heights for PreK before moving, but I was impressed by the school. A few of her classmates on the other hand were very rough around the edges and had a lot of discipline problems. Not the school's fault and they were really trying to help all the kids, even the challenging ones. Not sure why the school is rated so low. Low test scores maybe? Parent involvement was kind of low. The current school info is not accurate, they have staff members, art class, facilities, etc. that aren't listed.

Above all Meade Heights is a wonderful school. If what you are looking for is a school that has wonderful teachers, administrative staff and people to love your children, this is it!!! What this school doesn't have is strong parental involvement. Even though this is a school on a military post (located outside of gate however) there are only about 10% of the families military. Most of the rest of the school is low income. The principle is WONDERFUL. Mrs. Gallagher is one of the best people I have ever come across in my life. She just loves these children like each and everyone of them is her own. Being such a small school she knows every child and parent by name. Even if it was a huge school she would still probably know them by name. Every time I walk in that building I feel welcome. My 10 year old loves it. The only problem I have with Meade is the lack of parental involvement. But what the parents lack the staff makes up for.
