I disagree about bad reviews mentioning mental health support. Our daughter was struggling, we told teachers & counselors & they responded SO well. She received support at school & many teachers reached out to personally check in on her. Parent involvement is good. My only negative is the principal & she is leaving as of 2025, so hopefully issues with admin improve. Two children went there & both were prepared for the rigor @ PHS.

Our son is just about to complete the 2nd grade here at McAlpine. He has been at McAlpine since Kindergarten, so this is the end of our third year. Our son is doing very well in school. There is a friendly family atmosphere to the school where the staff and students seem to get on like a well oiled machine. The feedback loop has been strong with all 3 teachers we have had. They genuinely care and meet our child where he is, while also pushing him to be his best self. I do not get complaints from my child about name-calling, bullying, or other rude behaviors like happens at some of the other programs he attends (which are also well established programs)...I attribute this to the culture of this close knit school. The PTO goes above and beyond and coordinates fun fundraising events to help provide additional resources to the school. From the McAlpine Mile, to the Spring Fling, and more, there is a lot of cool tradition at the school. It is also limited in size because of the soccer fields out back and therefore will never have any trailers. The students are diverse and everyone is accepted. I've spent time volunteering in the classroom, at school events, and other places so I think I actually know the kids pretty well...and again, it's just such a warm environment. We wouldn't change a thing. We are very proud Eagles!

Our child and his friends are flourishing in this school. I’ve been very impressed by the staff, teachers and programs available. This school functions at a very high level despite being brand new. I would and have recommended this school to at least 3 families. Well done.
