6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFor my experience at this school they were dirty, there were roaches in the gym and food wrappers and water bottles in the bleachers and left over popcorn from the basketball games. Their students were very disrespectful, a lot of physical altercations with not only one student there were multiple involved. There was a lot of bullying and teasing. Maple Street Magnet School For Arts is not recommended to send your child.Other Review6mo ago - Winchell Elementary School
