GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Sadly, I cannot recommend Maya Lin. Our daughter is supported as an artist but is woefully unprepared to read, write, learn math or participate in project-based education. We are paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket every month for tutoring in the basic subjects neglected by this arts-integrated curriculum. We have been trying to transfer or get into a Catholic school but are on waiting lists everywhere. I’d recommend anyone with a TK or K student who’s districted for Maya Lin look into other options now as admission becomes more difficult in later years. The school is fun, but so is camp. The kids at Maya Lin are not learning how to excel as scholars. This school should be a charter or choice school. It’s a shame they force families into this unsuccessful curriculum.

"It’s a nice quiet neighborhood. Families outside, kids walking, riding bikes, water balloon fights and table tennis are regularly enjoyed. I moved here from the city - it’s definitely slower - shuts down early but a lovely place to call home - seemingly a lone star born from the idyllic American towns of yesteryear. "
