My child has attended MCA for 3 years and I wouldn'd consider sending him to any other school (especially McKinney public schools.) The MCA academics are first rate, the teaching staff really cares about each child, and with 18 to 20 students per class they receive pleanty of individual attention which

Overall MCA is a very good school. It is a fairly young school that continues to grow and improve every year. The academics are more challenging that what is available in local public schools at the lower and middle school levels. MCA's staff is very dedicated to the students. There are varying teaching

The art, music, and band programs are strong and continue to grow each year. The upper school athletic program is especially strong. All interested students are encouraged to participate and really push themselves to be their best. Students are encouraged to participate in multiple sports. Spirituality is stressed. Most kids in this school have strong family support and there is a lot of parent involvement. Read less

We are finishing our first year for our child at MCA. After attending MISD for many years we were looking for more challenging academcis and stronger discipline and the assurance of Christian values (all lacking at MISD). We found all these plus a loving family. I would strongly recomend this school.

Our time at MCA has been a huge disappointment for our family. MCA is definitely focused on money and increasing the number of students vs. taking the needed time to evaluate and work with the students they already have. The teachers are either fantastic or horrible- you have a 50/50 chance of getting

Attend the open house, meet with a 'host family', and talk with other parents (both current and former). Don't take ANYTHING for face value it has been our experience that MCA doesn t act ethically or Christ like when approached with difficult issues. Read less

We have had a great experience with McKinney Christian Academy. The academics are very rigorous - 2/3 of the teachers have master's degrees and a few upper school teachers have their PHDs! All teachers are ACSI certified. The teaching strength is obvious with 100% of graduates attending college

MCA has an excellent teaching staff and a very supportive administration. My children have found great success academically, athletically, and spiritually. It is absolutely the best Christian school in the North Dallas area.

MCA became the bright spot in my son's year, as we had to move to McKinney from another city in the middle of the school year. Obviously, the entire family was apprehensive about the mid-year change, but my son was welcomed with Christ-like love by his peers almost immediately, and the teachers couldn't

MCA has been an incredible place of learning and Christian love for our daughter. Not only do I feel this way as a parent, but my child will affirm this as well. Upon entering the car after school last year she excitedly said to me 'Mom I just love MCA' When I asked her what it was she liked about

I love my teachers, friends and Jesus Time' When she was Baptized this year, her 1st grade teacher was present at our church to congratulate her and show her support and love for such a huge decision in our daughter's life.

MCA was a big disappointment. The school felt more like a military school than a bright, happy, motivating environment focused on the love of learning. Extracurricular activity was terribly unorganized and the different areas didn't work well together. The school should stand behind commitments made.
