I am actually a parent and have worked at this school temporarally. The school staff has been awsome to myself and my two children, one who started in 2nd grade and one who was there from kindergarden to. They both were there until they movied on. We have never had any issues of not being heard or understood
... Read more nor do I have any disrespect to the way the principal decides to make the dicisions she needs to. We as parents can't expect everything to go 'our way'. I'm on both sides. I work at another school now but know that sometimes, it's the kids, sometimes it's the parents and sometimes it is the teachers or administration. I've seen it all. My children's experience at Mary Fay has been nothing but awsome memories for them! I set the tone when I went into the office. Look at yourself in the mirror first! Read less

The administrative leadership at MFP is weak at best. They use bullying techniques with parents who question teaching methods. They do not value children with special needs and go out of their way to avoid teaching according to the IEP. Discipline at MFP is not consistently inforced leading to a very
... Read more chaotic and stressful learning environment. In the upper grades children are left to fend for themselves in many situations such as bus, recess, lunch, and before/after school time. Supervision is minimal and misconduct is overlooked and swept under table. I have withdrawn both my special needs child and gifted child from MFP due to lack of teacher dedication and preparedness and refusal to meet individual needs. I suppose if you have an academically average kid who has no behavior problems and is self motivated and will do well in a class with 38 children, MFP may be for you. Read less

As a mother of a Kindergarten, I am amazed on how much my child has learned and accomplished in such a short time. Everyday my son will come home and surprise us on what he has learned during the day. My son is so proud of the good tickets that he get from school, that we hand up on the refrigerator.

Run if your child is in 4th grade or above! My child had a horrible experience with 4th grade. Mary Fay is not a school to attend if you want to know your children are safe. The environment in the front office is not welcoming. Don't get me started on the lunch program. My son had 35 kids on average

The Music Program is an improvement. This school does not set a tone that is welcoming to all families, parents or guardians where they would want to be involved.
