Since its first Upper School Commencement in 1991, 100 percent of graduates from The Meadows School have been accepted into four-year colleges or universities.HistoryOriginsThe Meadows School was first conceptualized by Carolyn G. Goodman in the early 1970s. She and her husband, attorney Oscar Goodman, had recently settled in Las Vegas and were looking to enroll their four children in schools with academic standards comparable to the top college preparatory schools on the East Coast. Through her search of area schools, Goodman was introduced to Dr. LeOre Cobbley, a longtime educator in the Clark County School District who championed a no-nonsense, traditional system of elementary education.Modeled largely after her alma mater, The Brearley School in Manhattan, and the teaching philosophy of Dr. Cobbley, Goodman incorporated the nonprofit School in 1981 as the “Clark County Day School.” Three years later and with Dr. Cobbley serving as the founding Headmistress, The Meadows School officially opened on September 4, 1984, with an enrollment of 140 students in grades K-6.
