I’ve had two kids go here from kindergarten through 6th grade. We had the best experience. The teachers and staff are excellent. You can feel the love and care for children the second you walk in the door.

I've had children attending Towne Meadows for the past 4 years and we love our school! Towne Meadows has a community feel. The students feel welcomed, loved, and valued. Mr. Pettit, the principal, knows every student by name! You can frequently catch him welcoming the kids at the gate, helping in the lunchroom, or reading to them in the classroom. The teachers and staff are amazing. The teachers use creative methods to teach thru interactive hands on learning. As a past educator, I have been impressed with my children's academic progress and can attest that the teachers challenge the students to meet their academic goals. In 2019 the school received an "A+ School of Excellence" Award. Also, during the COVID shut downs the teachers and staff stayed positive and continued to strive to provide the best quality education for our children. So grateful for their perseverance and hard work during those challenging times. We feel blessed to have Towne Meadows as our school of choice!

This is just one of those special places where people care about each other and the development of young minds. I've admired Towne Meadows from close up and afar for a long time and have always had incredible experiences. The Principal, faculty and staff are invested in the students as well as each other. That sense of community and compassion for one and another is the reason people want their children to go to school there.

Towne Meadows is a wonderful school, all the teachers are so caring and love the students and go above and beyond for them. The principle is hands on and talks to all the kids as if they are his own. My son has benefited so much from this school and we are so glad that we moved here and chose this school. Towne Meadows has helped my son more in the 7 months that he has been in this school that his last school could not do in 2.5 years. I will recommend this school to anyone .

I currently have two children attending Towne Meadows. There is a great sense of community among the staff and families. The teachers my kids have had so far have been professional and concerned about my kids' growth and progress. I love how the PE and Music teachers have worked together to coordinate dance Wednesdays where the whole school starts the day off getting some exercise by dancing. The PE teacher also put together a Family Fitness Night which was awesome. My only complaint about the school is that class sizes in some grades were too big. But, I realize this was due to funding issues and will be resolved in the future as more funding becomes available.

Towne Meadows is a great school! They focus on the awesome and really strive to give the best education possible to the students! This is a fun school as well! My child and I LOVE dance Wednesday's. It gets your child in a good mood to start off the day and encourages your child to be active! The staff is amazing! The principal is loved by all!! He makes it a point to know all his students by name! The kids adore him!

As a parent I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of Towne Meadows on Great Schools. While my son loves this school because it's "so easy," I am struggling to love it as a parent. While most of the parents of my son's friends had decided to bring their children to charter schools in the area they had researched and fell in love with, I decided that the neighborhood school was just fine for my child because I thought no matter what school he attended he would continue to be challenged in his learning BUT every time I go into my son's classroom the teacher is working with the lowest students. The only communication I ever get about what is happening in the school is a weekly email from the principal about events happening school wide (which is awesome), but nothing from my child's teacher about how my child is doing academically, socially, about what they are learning in class, ideas how to help him grow in his learning, and there is only one conference a year and it was at the beginning of the school year. There are also 30 plus kids in his class. I will stay one more year just in case it's just the particular teacher my son has, but I've been disappointed so far.
