West Meade Elementary School Reviews

 
I have seen an increase in Parent involvement at West Meade. While there are areas to improve on my son loves attending this school. The school system could use an update on how to better deal with a mobile community. A mobile community is no reason to not excell. My two older children attended schools overseas where families knew they would be rotated within so many years and the schools were wonderful and the PTSA was awesome.

I had a Special Needs Pre-k child from 06-07. While the teacher was ok, the ot/pt/speech therapies we're at minimum. The principle has very little regard to parent feelings. And parents are not welcomed to drop in, or participate in anything. I felt it was more like a day care than a school for progress. They say it's lack of funding, if this is how the military's children is treated then I am ashamed.

My child attended 2006-2007 at West Meade and they do not offer any afterschool programs or tutoring sessions for children that are having problems with particular classes or subjects, which does no justice for the children. They need to rethink their extracurricular programs and prioritize the important needs of the children education well-being. I was truly unhappy with the level of education my child receive while attend West Meade School. Every child learns differently, but you need to make sure that every child is receiving a good education, despite of their level of learning.

School is very small for size of enrollment (250+). PTA is trying its best, but parent involvement is low do to high turnover rate (50%+). Teacher quality is fair, but no extracurricular activities except school safties.

2003-2004 had very small class sizes; this was expected to change with the new construction at Ft. Meade. Teachers here are saddled with Anne Arundel County curriculums that are not necessarily compatible with a mobile population. The school claims 50% turnover rate- it's actually much higher. (No one from my child's kindergarten class was still at West Meade when second grade started.) Weak PTA possibly due to parent mobility. Little differentiation for advanced or gifted students. Miniscule library, esp. compared to other Ft. Meade schools. School website hasn't been updated in years.
