Maplemere is a great school. We love the diversity - kids from many cultural backgrounds and socioeconomic situations makes for a better experience with cultural sensitivity as well as building friendships with people who may not look like you or practice the same lifestyle as you. The staff is SO caring, and they work hard to make sure our kids get what they need to thrive. They are a Leader In Me school, and from the earliest grades are teaching the kids the 7 Habits (Be Proactive, Be a Problem solver, Think Win-win, etc) and how to apply them in their lives. This is carried on into the later grades as well. The special ed support is OUTSTANDING. We have experience with support at the elementary and middle school levels, and feel that our kids have gotten what support they need when they needed it. Many other parents I've spoken to feel a similar way to me. This is a wonderful community, and we are so glad we became a part of it!

I do not recommend this school for those receiving special education in the general ed setting. If your child is not recommended for a self contained class, they are just dumped into gen general ed with no support. The administrators of the schools do not care about those with IEPs

2 children so far of ours have graduated from Sweethome highschool. Both took AP, were involved in extra curricular activities , high honors and more. It’s like any other highschool. You have good teachers and bad teachers - good students and bad students. Both of my children had pleasant experiences. The attitude of children vs school starts at home. No complaints here.
