I have two children in this school and every year there is tons of parent involvement! I don't understand why someone would say there isn't. Maybe the specific teacher they had did not encourage it. Every teacher we have had has been all for parent involvement. I practically lived at the school when
... Read more my now 3rd grader was in kindergarten. The teachers are nice and loving. The office staff, the nurse and all the other staff are great also. My kids are begging me to put them in the after school program that's how much they like being there. It was over crowded but that was not the schools' fault, it was because this county was being over developed and the schools couldn't handle all the kids. A new school was built which brought much relief and now Maceondia is also expanding. Read less

We transferred our 3 children from a private school to Macedonia and are so very pleased! We have found an exceptional faculty and staff. Both the teachers and the administrators are super involved with the school as a whole, not just their classrooms and positions. They encourage and appreciate parental

Even the front office and nurse knows almost every child by name and they are kind, patient, and compassionate. I will sing the praises off the cafeteria staff, etc. They care about each child too. We are incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful learning environment. We truly believe we could not have found the resources combined with the experienced teachers in a private school Read less

Great school!! the teachers are very good as a whole. They also will customize your childs teaching to match there needs. This has been a huge part of our children's success at this school. Parent involvement at this school is really encouraged and well received. Great new security feature at visitor

I am a teacher at Macedonia and I take great offense at our staff being called 'pitiful' in one of these posts. Macedonia does NOT have a military like environment or discipline. I have worked in different schools and in other states and Macedonia is by far the most caring school I have ever experienced.

I love Macedonia's teachers and staff. It has been a part of my family for almost ten years. Speaking from experience, parent volunteers are always needed, sought after, and welcomed. Both of my children have thrived at the school. As for the person who wrote, 'The school (at the direction of the principal)

Our parents are concerned about their children's education and want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Read less

Macedonia has alot of issues. Security being number one. Military atmosphere, More emphasis on disciplining the children than education. Kids should be encouraged to go the school, not dread it. Too much non-educational down time. The principle should rethink her priorities. Instead of working with

9 out of 10, that's a laugh. I have over the course of the past few years three children attend MES. I have never seen a more 'Circle The Wagons' mentality then at this school. Whenever an issue arises they take no responsibility for anything. My third grader was falling behind in class and the
... Read more Prinipal in our meeting was blaming my child (a third grader). The Principal had the audacity to suggest my child might have a learning disability, not that the Teacher may have a teaching disability. Very unhappy with MES and its lack of leadership. The Principal does not listen to parent concerns, and the Teachers will not speak up in parent / teacher meetings. The Teachers that speak up usually don't last. 9 out of 10, only if your criteria is unhappy kids and a pitiful staff. Read less

No kudos from this parent. State test scores should not be the only priority. Unfortunately, we came out of private school hoping for more....What we found was a lack of creativity and a lack of caring. Great test scores! Hooray! Unhappy children, not so great.
