As a student I would say it was decent. Most teachers cared about how the students preformed and not the students themselves. They wanted us to pass but in whatever way they can so we can leave. They don’t always help out when we are struggling and instead of showing how to do it they just give us more work instead and yes high school is suppose to prepare us for college but not everyone learns the same way as everyone else does. Now it’s not all teachers that are like this they do care and do help but the inconsistency does not help students at all. Also the administrators this year are horrible, disrespectful, they never let us speak on what we have to say, and they have not really helped me in anyway when I was speaking of classes. Not all students are horrible but when it’s one student doing bad everyone is punished for it and no questions asked unless they want a referral. Overall decent from wha me and my friends saw.

Meadowbrook High School is the home to the IB class of 2017. This is a class that had several incredible students, who went on with thousands of dollars in scholarships to the best schools in the State. These schools include, Norfolk State University, Howard University, Virginia Commonwealth University, James Madison University, The University of Virginia, The University of Richmond, Roanoke College, Virginia Tech, and The College of William and Mary. These students helped the administration and teachers to push this school forward. And this school has become a powerhouse in innovative learning techniques like Peer-to-Peer tutoring, Discussion Circles, and Minority Excellence Celebrations. Like any other Chesterfield County Public School, Meadowbrook has every resource needed for a child to succeed they just have ask. Those who have complained below sound like people who make a lot of excused and will continue to until they die, so their opinions will forever cloud the excellence that has come from MBK for the last 5 or 6 years, and other seasons before that. GO MONARCHS!

Went here for a year and a half and hated every moment of it. One kid acts out and the entire class is punished. School doesn't trust the kids; there's a 45 minute "break" period in the morning where they aren't allowed to talk quietly, sleep, be on their phones/listen to music, etc. The kids are supposed to work on assignments during that time and if they don't have any work to do they're expected to just sit quietly with nothing to do for the 45 minute duration. Art teacher was extremely disrespectful towards students (example: drawing cartoons in my free time wasn't "realism" and was bad, if she was in a bad mood- which was a lot- the whole class had to pay for it, etc.). Teachers were generally just rude to the kids, couldn't ask them to do anything in a respectful manner.All in all, this school made me feel inferior as a human being. My thoughts and feelings were constantly invalidated and I would never recommended this school to anyone.
