Maxdale is a wonderful school with great teachers! My oldest son has attended since he was in Pre-K and is now in 1st grade. Every year has been a positive experience and he continues to learn and grow.

My experience at this school was mostly negative. A lot of the teachers seemed burnt out and uninterested in teaching, which made learning harder. Most students clearly hated being there, and the overall atmosphere felt very unmotivating. The staff, especially in the mornings and in the front office, were often rude and unapproachable. It also takes an unreasonable amount of time just to get into the school, which causes many students to be late or miss their first or even second period. I rarely had teachers who actually taught the material, instead, many would just hand out packets and tell us to figure it out on our own. On top of that, the principal frequently interrupts classes with announcements that disrupt learning, usually just to express disappointment or make unnecessary comments or jokes. There are a lot of issues overall, but most of them come from problems within the district.

The worse. I never thought I would have to protect my child from teachers that I put trust in to be good to him. His Math teacher called him names and singled him out. His science teacher retaliated because he was dating the Math teacher.
