Fairmeadow is an excellent school, encompassing all of Palo Alto's best! The level of education, small class size through fifth grade, and variety of enriching subjects offered is outstanding. The parent involvment is like no other as are the fun events suported by the PTA. Faairmeadow is a wonderful, diverse community. My family continues to be very happy there.

Fairmeadow is a hidden treasure in Palo Alto. The teachers are absolutely dedicated, each student gets a lot of individual attention. There are detailed assessments and workplans for each student. Small class size according to PA standards. Diverse student body, not too many extracurricular activities offered.

This school has great parent involvement and a diverse, bright group of students. My daughter has almost completed her kindergarten year and I am impressed by the dedication of her teacher and by the exposure she has gotten to so many different things. Her class learns 'by doing', whether it is planting a garden, raising butterflies, weekly cooking classes, or writing books about their experiences. She is excited about school and learning. I hope it continues!

It wasn't a bad school, but I found that my mathematical skills sort of slipped after the fourth grade. Perhaps this is because that most elementary school teachers are liberal arts majors and not very strong in math.
