My son attended this school his kindergarten year 2016-2017 and did great! No problems at all. 1st grade, however, was a different story. He started having problems focusing, following directions, and finishing his work. He was being sent home early (sometimes within 30 mins of being dropped off in the morning) multiple times a week because according to the Ms. Weinman, the principal, “We run a school. Not a daycare.”At the advice of his teacher we took him to his Dr. to see what could be going on and after having his teacher and I fill out Vanderbilt Assessments (an assessment tool that reviews possible symptoms of ADHD and other conditions), his Dr. diagnosed him with ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. We thought having a diagnosis would help us start the process of getting him help or accommodations through the school such as an IEP or tailored behavior plan. Boy were we wrong.Even after multiple meetings with the principle and assistant principle it was clear they were going to keep doing everything they could to keep from having to work with him, while also making us jump through hoops. We tried to establish an IEP and as the previous reviewer also stated it took MULTIPLE meetings to even get the ball rolling. The principle was fairly rude and condescending at every meeting. Basically stating every time we saw her that she didn’t have time to deal with any of this or our son. We finally got the date set for his IEP assessment and the school has up to 60 days to schedule the assessment. They scheduled it for EXACTLY 60 days out. Then a week or 2 later they sent paperwork home saying that they were revoking his open enrollment status and we had 2 weeks to find another school for him. We lived practically across the street from the Village Meadows but it wasn’t technically his “home school” because of zoning so we had enrolled him there through DVUSD open enrollment. After that the assistant principal called me daily to ask if I’d enrolled him in his home school yet or found another non-DVUSD school for him. Because they had revoked his DVUSD open enrollment our only options were to enroll him in his home school per zoning of Constitution Elementary or choose a school in a different district than DVUSD.We ended up enrolling him in Constitution Elementary and it’s turned out to be the best decision we could have made. He is thriving and doing amazingly minus a few hiccups when he first started halfway through 1st grade. He is also excited and looks forward to school every day now vs. crying and begging to stay home while he was at Village Meadows. The teachers at Constitution all work with him and we had a behavior plan established almost immediately when he started. The principal there, Ms. Leyva said their goal is to do whatever is necessary to keep students in the classroom and learning and that’s exactly what they’ve done. My son is now in 3rd grade and still doing great. He is even in gifted classes because he tested above his age group in reading and math. This school (Constitution) and these teachers and administrators took the time to work with us and figure out a plan that worked for him. Something apparently Village Meadows can’t do. It turns out he is extremely intelligent and was getting bored too quickly with the regular classwork which was part of the reason he was getting into trouble by not doing his work and being distracting. So they found a way to keep challenging him and he’s been doing great ever since. We also have great communication with his teachers and principal at this school.Village Meadows clearly lacks the skills, competence, and patience (as Ms. Weinman stated multiple times), to work with kids that are even the littlest bit challenging.

Overall a clean school. They have little control over the morning and afternoon traffic. Its horrible. The curriculum leaves something to be desired. They are more worried about passing the students than the students overall education. The staff are very nice and we never had a problem with a question being answered or speaking to anyone there. After 2 years we moved our child to a charter for a better chance at a quality education.

The ladies in the office were filled with information to help me get what I went there to get.

We love Mrs Bennett and all the staff we have come in contact with!! I am amazed at the progress my daughter has had at this school! We love village meadows!!

Amazing school and great staff!🤩😍
