Shortly after our daughter was born we started the process of touring and evaluating the various…read moreprivate schools in Vegas. There is, in our opinion, no better option than the Meadows School. This is the kind of school that parents in Los Angeles, San Francisco or NYC have to jump through hoops to get their kids into, with massive politics and financial commitments at play. Yet in Vegas, many parents (including on our street) send their kids to Dawson due to its reputation for being easier and more artsy as they are terrified of the academic competitiveness of Meadows. If these same parents were in the Bay Area they'd be doing backflips trying to get their kids into the same sort of school there as Meadows. The campus is amazing. The curriculum is challenging. The kids are happy and very engaged in sports, theater, charity and other after-school activities. The parents are friendly and, especially the "Meadows Moms", work tirelessly to help out. Yes, your kid has to test into each school (K, middle, high). Great, we love a meritocracy rather than forced social promotion. And my daughter will have friends for life as she goes from K thru 12 here.

Interviewed for a coaching position with this school…read more.. After thinking the interview went well with the Athletic Director (I place no blame on him) I was told I will be brought back to meet with the other coaches and interview with them. A few weeks later I was then told I would be interviewing with 1 coach and 2 HR people. First off, since when do you need to interview with HR reps and 2nd, IT'S A CHEERLEADING COACH POSITION. Give me a flippin break. Four people for a PART-TIME cheerleading coach position! Had to sit through this interview while the "HR" people mean mugged me the whole time. I'm sure it's a great school; the campus was beautiful but why the HR interview????? Weird vibes from them.

I had the opportunity to visit this school for a choir competition, and I was truly impressed…read more There were so many talented students who gave their absolute best performances. The level of talent was incredible--it honestly felt like I was attending a professional concert! The event was very well organized, everything ran smoothly, and you could tell how much effort went into making it a great experience for everyone. The positive energy from the students, families, and staff made the event even more enjoyable. It was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to attending future events here. Bravo to all of the talented performers!

Went to see the production of WONDERLAND at the school last night…read more It was a modern-day retelling of a classic story from Broadway hit-maker Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel). Adult Alice, a modern-day, disillusioned video game developer from New York who is juggling a failing marriage, motherhood, and intense work environmentto the point of challenging her own sense of identity, she follows a rabbit down a service elevator and crashes into a bizarre, upside-down reality. Welcome to WONDERLAND. Alice had to face a sinister, power-hungry Mad Hatter, a Queen of Hearts, and a charismatic Cheshire Cat. Alice's quest to find her lost daughter forces her to confront the greatest mystery of all: how to find the courage and wonder she lost long ago. The girls who played Alice, the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter had amazing vocals. All the kids in the show were amazing with their acting, singing and dancing. The orchestra, WOW is all I can say about them. They were fantastic from start to finish. They all did such an amazing and professional job with the entire show, the stage hands, the lighting and sound, it was all like a professional show. High praise for the kids. The staff??? In the lobby, there was this one staff member, strong accent and very long fake lashes who makes one concerned about our future generation. On the table there was a sign that clearly said "SOLD OUT". We got our tickets on House Seats, obviously I had tickets otherwise I would not have been there, I had already talked to this lady once asking where the restroom was when I first arrived. So unless they just let anyone wander in off the streets to use the restroom on a show night??? As I said, we got our tickets on House Seats which means they were free. I wanted to support the kids, the theater program and the school, so I went up to the table and I said; "IF, I were to purchase tickets, how much would they have cost?" This young brilliant adult mind, looks at me, points to the sign, and says, "We are sold out". I'm retired military, I have a business degree, my generation learned how to read and like I said, I didn't just wander in off the streets just because.... I responded with, "I have tickets, which I displayed in case she was confused, I said I know it's sold out, I'm asking what the prices of the tickets would be if I were to buy them? The gentleman next to her quoted a range of price which prompted a short discussion between the two. OMG, I'm afraid for our future generation of kids. I handed the guy $40 to which he asked what it was for? I said a donation for the kids, the program and the school. I guess a lot of people don't think to donate if they got tickets for free which is sad. Programs in schools need our support and if you could have seen the production, it was amazing. Sadly it's becoming less in Public Schools. Their sound/lighting control area was better than some shows I've seen around town. The stage was massive, the props were professionally designed, the kids, from the Technical Director, down to the stage hands and every position in between, this could have easily been a production on the strip, that's how good it was and how amazing of a job the kids did. I will gladly go see a show here anytime and will gladly pay whatever the price is for a ticket and then some, to support such an amazing theater program. And again, the orchestra, one of the best from start to finish.

The teachers are very, very respectful and caring in a sense but when it comes to certain teachers and staff members they could care less about what UR GOING THROUGH! and let's really talk about this how come anytime a person's in trouble. The staff likes to flip the situation on them whole time it's that person getting bullied?? they don't even try to stop it and I can't even wear shorts which is crazy work because it's Vegas and it's 100° outside every day! weird right? so that's why I'm saying with full confidence. If you send your kid there you're a disgrace.

Hi! I am a former student from Rogich who is now homeschooled. I am going to tell you about my…read moreexperience here from grade. I am currently in 7th grade. 6th grade: Pretty fun and cool, I was in the bowling and theater club. Almost all of my teachers were very nice to me, but my math teacher at that time made me feel dumb. I won't be able to say the name for certain reasons, but this teacher would sort-of embarass me in front of everyone in the class and would make rude comments about me. There was this one time where I was trying to retake a math test. But as I was working, this teacher said " Hurry up, Charlie. I want to go home." Their tone in the comment made me feel stupid, rushed, and stressed out. 7th grade: Horrible in most ways. I was in the bowling club, and the teachers I had were still nice. But most of the kids there were very annoying, troublemaking, and loud. The overwhelming crowds and bad influences from most of the students made me feel very uncomfortable to the point where I had to get homeschooled after spring break. To any student who is wondering where I am, I'm homeschooled at home and can still come to after school programs/events. However, the principal, staff, and most of my teachers were very kind to me. The electives I had in 7th grade, which was beginning orchestra and student aids, were the best electives ever in my opinion. If you are about to be a 7th or 8th grader, I recommend you choose student aids because you can help a teacher of your choice and have lots of fun and free time to work on unfinished assignments. That was my review on Sig Rogich middle school.

I lost 1 year of Math and Science due to either getting taught at 3rd grade level or work that had little to do with the subject. The school does very little to nothing about bullying situations. A few students committed suicide because of the repeated bullying. Much better schools in the valley and I do not recommend taking your kid to school here.

I use quotes for black box because the program notes that the space is borrowed from the engineering teachers. The sound quality isn't what you would generally expect from a theatre. The space was set up well with risers so the audience had good sight lines. I'm guessing the space holds about 80 people the way it's configured. The school opened in August of 2010 so it's a new campus. The school is very clean and the parking is adequate for the number of students who drive. Being a lifelong educator, it pains me to see security cameras in the hallways and the parking lots, but I know it's part of what our society is. The campus is only about 2 miles from where I live so I'll be back and see some more of their productions. It's good to have an audience that is more than just the parents of the kids in the show. Well done, Wranglers Theatre!

Overall, I came here for my daughter's Volleyball game and it is a beautiful school with a small gym but very clean. I like how there was also a food truck there as well. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star is because the parking stalls are a bit compact (and being that I am originally from Hawaii, we have compact stalls there) and someone scratched my car when they opened their door.

Not the worst, but far from what it should be…read more I'll be honest--I wanted to love this place. At first glance, it checks some important boxes: clean buildings, a decent variety of after-school programs, and a lot of buzz about being "one of the better schools" in the area. But after spending real time here, that reputation doesn't hold up under closer inspection. The good stuff? Sure, it's there. The campus is well-kept and looks great, and my kids have genuinely enjoyed a few of the clubs they've tried. I'll also say that some of the teachers are passionate and communicative. You can tell they care. But unfortunately, the strong ones feel outnumbered by the ones who seem to have checked out. And that's where things start to unravel. Too often, we've seen teachers point fingers at students or parents instead of taking ownership when something clearly goes wrong in the classroom. That mindset makes it hard to trust the process. Meanwhile, the people running the show? It feels like their main goal is image control. Even when serious concerns are raised, the focus shifts to silencing criticism instead of solving problems. Don't even get me started on the pickup line. It's pure chaos. Traffic spills into the streets, everyone's blocking everyone else, and there's no system in place to fix it. You'll spend 30+ minutes in your car daily, just hoping no one gets into an accident. As for academics, it's hit or miss. In some cases, the material seems to come straight from pre-made internet templates--no adaptation, no passion, and sometimes, no clear understanding of the topic from the person teaching it. Honestly, I've found better explanations on YouTube. Other things worth noting: There have been situations involving extremely unprofessional conduct between staff members--yes, during the school day. I've also seen confidential student information passed around carelessly, which is incredibly upsetting for any parent. And the school's reaction to these concerns? Defensive. Instead of addressing the issue, they turned their attention to the parent who spoke up, even threatening to revoke their campus access. That says a lot about their priorities. Bottom line: There are bright spots here, but they're clouded by serious problems in leadership, culture, and accountability. If you're considering this school, go in with your eyes wide open. It might look good on paper, but reality paints a more complicated picture.
