The Quality of education is high while the teachers and admin. continue to display that they actucally care about my son. (unlike other schools) The athletic dept is a program that is growing and provided a great opportunity for my son to earn a scholarship. At the very competitive schools i was encouraged to donate to the booster club for face time with the head coach. Meadowcreek is a Great School!
