The teachers at this school are not effective they only care about cashing their checks as soon as they get tenure. The students suffer because of this and have to deal with the consequences of the greed not only of the teachers but of the district as well.

We came into Maxwell as a middle school CSArts family. We were unsure of what to expect and definitely were nervous about what we would encounter. The school year is coming to an end, and I can happily say that our kids have had a fantastic year. We are grateful that the few issues that we encountered were resolved promptly and these issues were never a problem again after we notified the principal. While the school is not perfect, and no school is. I truly believe that they are doing a lot with what funding they have. Whether it be at Maxwell or any other school, I recommend communicating problems to admin immediately and become as involved as possible. You will understand why certain decisions are made and you will potentially help shape your child's school into a better place. Maxwell has a lot of teachers in the middle school that are well prepared to teach, engage, and partner with your child. I feel like what has helped our kids is the fact that they have a desire to learn and grow. So much is also about how you send your child into the world. Teachers cannot and should not be expected to raise our kids.
