    "Meredith is a wonderful school. My child has been in attendance at Meredith since the third grade, and will enter the 8th grade this school year. Here you find excellent teachers, parent involvement and a focus on the arts. My child has had the pleasure of receiving a well-rounded education just as good or better than private school education. I would recommend Meredith again, and again. Mrs. Farlino has come in and helped Meredith maintain it's prestigious place in the world of elementary education. The annual holiday and end of the year plays are not to be missed. The whole school comes together and puts on wonderful productions. Definitely a place for young artists to thrive and learn."

    "I am the parent who wrote the prior review. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this school. I wish I had my wits about me (detention for a first grader? really???) at the time. This, along with lack of communication among parents, teachers, staff and administration has led us to withdraw."

    "Racial profiling is a given at Meredith. All the children sitting at the detention table are children of color. It is a rarity that you find non colored children in detention. If you have an active child of color prepare yourself for daily calls. I took my child out of Meredith, there are other fine schools in the area that focus just as much on academics and less on color."

    "This is a wonderful school with a great new principal that is encouraging continued success of this school for our children. They offer rigorous academics along with an in depth arts and music program which is like finding gold in the city of Philadelphia. They are a community and parent supported school that is able to flourish because of parent involvement. My son is attending his second year at Meredith and looks forward to graduating 8th grade from there. It has changed his attitude towards school, encouraged his learning and offered us an opportunity to be a part of his education. If you are able to attend this school I highly recommend it."

    "There is good parent involvement and the location is great. I have a huge concern that the needs of special education students are not being meet. If you have a special needs child you may want to consider other schools in philadelphia."
