While the school maintains a consistent 3-star rating and effectively supports its diverse student population, there may be opportunities to further improve academic outcomes, especially in the lower grade levels and for certain student subgroups.

Open Quote Went there as a middle schooler when Thorton Burgess closed. The transition was very rough for us. Now being in Minnechaug, I have come to the realization that Greenmeadows only caders to its younger students. But even then the staff couldn't handle a simple situation or put their two sense in with the parents. Anything to do with the middle school part of the school was turned away from. Any social issues were dismissed or were taken care of very poorly. I myself experienced harassment at the school and reported it to the principal. I was told my parents were going to be called and they would figure it out from there. In good old Green meadows fashion, nothing was done or taken seriously. As 6th to 8th graders, we should be treated fairly, problems like these were also seen in younger grades. My younger brother went there from kindergarten to 4th grade and was treated very differently than the other kids. He was in the middle of getting evaluated for autism when his 3rd-grade teacher recommended that my parents put him on drugs. I found it quite strange that the teachers had the nerve to be a doctor than to be a teacher and support these kids' educations. Don't put your kid through this school, the education is under par and will overwhelm your kid when they get to high school because they are so far behind. Trust me, I was the kid who got straight A's and still struggled when I got to high school. Close Quote
