My son began his education at MXR this year. He has had the most wonderful experience. The Kindergarten teachers strive to bring our Alabama students above the median. The PTA needs improvment. A shift toward more attention on Parent/Teacher communication would be a great improvement. The PTA is more

Parents would be able to help assist their students in correcting or improving their learning ability if the Teachers were given the forum to gudie us toward these goals.

However, both economic and proper use of what they have has been achieved. I would choose to move to this school district again if given the choice. Sincerely, HDJ Read less
