Principal Becker has retaliated greatly against us after bringing real complaints against her work as a principal. A small group of current McNear mothers and PTA board members have protected her, and some have retaliated against my family and I despite the fact we left the school last summer. It feels very much like the mean girls run things at McNear right now. Multiple teachers and parents who have spoken up have either left the school or been pushed away. I hope they can make a change, it used to be a great school for everyone. We attended from 2017-2024 with our 3 daughters, and left after facing retaliation for speaking up for the teachers and children.

"It’s miserable. The traffic around town has tripled in the last few years. I don’t know how they think all the people in the houses they are building are going to get around but we can’t have any more cars on our roads; they just weren’t designed for this many people"

"It’s a bit pricey. Also, if you a looking to rent, and have a large dog over 25 lbs., it is doubly hard to fine anything other than an apartment. And open space is a premium in taking care of the dogs needs."
