I would like to see more parental envolvement, collaboration and more support for the school's administrators. Also, would like for more parents to become more engaged with their student(s) to let the administrators know they have their full support.

My experience at Meadowbrook high school was okay. It wasn't the best but I feel like my class made it a great school year. Meeting new friends and getting to know everyone and just overall being a family at the school. Was the best part for me!
