Round Meadow Elementary School Reviews

 
Round Meadow is a fantastic elementary school. We are proud to have our children there. Yes, the school is required to follow state educational guidelines & yes, it is faced w/constant budget cuts. However, any parent who thinks that their child is not challenged due to other students performance levels needs to be more introspective. We have a gifted daughter & a middle of the pack child as well. Both have the same homework - yes. My daughter is challenged by her teacher with advanced reading & writing. My son is given extra assistance if required. It is up to the parents to be involved in their own child's education & have an open dialogue with educators- whether it be in a private or public setting. Round Meadow is as close to a private school as one can get - a small, close, caring community.

It is disappointing to see a great public school like Round Meadow associated with one-star ratings from a couple of reviewers who feel that it can t measure up to a superior private education . What an irrelevant and misguided basis for giving a school one star. Is there any question that a private school will be able to offer more than a public school? Isn t that what you are paying for? Private schools have much more to spend per student, they re not required to do standardized testing, have complete control over curriculum, smaller classes, can choose the most capable students and kick-out the behavior problems. After being educated in both public and private schools myself, I have found Round Meadow to be a high quality public school with outstanding teachers and involved parents. If you are considering it, I encourage you to take a tour and see for yourself.

Why shouldn't the education children receive at Round Meadow be compared to the education they could receive at a private school? There may be parents out there trying to decide between sending their child to Round Meadow and sending them to a private school. Round Meadow is good school only when compared to other public schools. My son attended Round Meadow for two years, but my wife and I decided to switch him to a private school because he was not being challenged enough educationally and because of unnecessary and unbridled rough play by other children on the playground there at Round Meadow. Perhaps the new principal there has since gotten a handle on the playground situation. However, my wife and I were not impressed with the education our son was receiving there, and are much happier now that he is receiving a superior private school education.

My daughter was in second grade at Round Meadow and there were children in her class who still couldn't write. I really felt that her learning was being held back so that the other, slower students could catch up. Round Meadow may look picturesque, but it can't come close to a private school education.

Strong family participation. Virtually every parent attended Open House.

Round Meadow is a wonderful school. The principal, teachers, and classified staff are dedicated and hard working. Everyone puts the kids first! The PFA is extremely active. Parents raise funds to support the music, art and P.E. programs. They also sponsor a number of high quality assemblies each year. Many after school enrichment programs are offered for a fee. Round Meadow is also situated on a beautiful campus. It is a wonderful place for students to learn and grow.

When my child went to Round Meadow from Faith Baptist, she felt disappointed. In her fourth grade class, they were still learning long division when she learned it in second and third grade. Now they have updated the curriculum, which I am not familiar with. But do not expect it to be just a good as a private school. Round Meadow does have fabulous teachers and it is in a wonderful school district.

We have been so impresesed by our experience at Round Meadow. The teachers have been fantastic with our daughter. Not only does the school have great test results but more importantly the teachers offer a wonderful nurturing environment. The parents are very involved with the school. Through the PFA, Round Meadow continues to have excellent music, PE, computer, and enrichment classes. My daughter loves going to school!
