I recently graduated with the class of 2025 in one of the worst ceremonies ever, which is incredibly sad because graduation has always been THE top event of the year and I have been looking forward to this for a long time. The venue was terrible (NOT an "upgrade") and the ceremony was rushed and diminished in ways that made it much less special and more like a public school graduation. It is also sad that the new admin. asked us all to write positive reviews on our way out. There is so much emphasis on how things look on the outside (and with one person as the center of attention, not even the students) but the reality on the inside is very different.

The Meadows School is a small, supportive community. Administration, teachers, and parents all work hard to create a safe, challenging academic environment. Having attended this school for most of my life, I have built friendships that I know will last a lifetime. I have also gained an education that prepares me well for college and has created a foundation for future career goals.

With graduation upcoming, I can say that The Meadows has fully prepared me for the future both in the classroom and on the field. The balance between sports and academics prepares students who want to play collegiate sports and they will be set up for success.

When we first moved to Las Vegas we enrolled them in public school and were shocked at how poor the public school system was. Honestly, it’s bordering on criminal. Meadows was the polar opposite experience. Th...

In terms of academics, Meadows is definitely the top high school in Las Vegas. Like most private college prep schools it prepares students for college through rigorous schoolwork, involved teachers, and character building. Most public schools in Las Vegas suffer from low standards, high delinquency...

I would not recommend it to anyone. The general morale at the school, teachers and students alike, is extremely low. Most teachers are open with the students about how bad it is, but don't tell the headmaster or else.

A teacher at this school bullied my child. They could've just said they didn't want us there and skipped traumatizing a child. I don't have time to elaborate at this time but if you can afford to put your nine-year-old through therapy for PTSD, go ahead and enroll them. Think you're exempt from this...
