The teachers compare the kids, and complain. The students do not have a happy school environment.

We feel fortunate that our kids are able to attend such an excellent school. The leadership, staff, and teachers are amazing; they've created an environment that builds community and makes learning exciting for our children. Mayo Elementary is known locally as the public private school because of the high caliber teaching, student-teacher ratio, and extracurricular opportunities it fosters. As a parent, I feel informed and part of the school community, particularly through ongoing events and engagement programs such as WATCHDOGS. Thank you, Mayo Elementary!

Key is obviously a great, college level school with activities unique to a private school. The classes were great and immersive and there was free time in between classes and activities at the end of the day. The problem that I had at key was a lot of unrestricted bullying. There is a ton of wealth at this school and the students are extremely privileged and mean. I think key school could take a lesson from friends schools and do more to make sure that's not going on.

I've grown concerned about the direction of the middle school. Enrollment seems to be dropping. There have been ongoing behavior problems and bullying that do not seem to be addressed. There are a lot of cliques and newer students seem to have a hard time feeling like they belong. Faculty members seem to disappear without explanation on a fairly regular basis. Instead of trying to do a few things really well, the school tries to be all things to all people, shoehorning too many subjects and activities into the schedule. Kids and teachers seem constantly pulled in too many directions. It might be a good place for pre-school and elementary school, but there seems to be a lot of turmoil in grades 5 through 8. So if your child is older, be sure to ask questions and talk to other parents before enrolling your child.
