Community Reviews
We love the school. We have a kindergartener and second grader, and they are both happy engaged and feel welcome in this school. They both have a IEP and get the services they need. The staff is amazing and very friendly. Ms. Miller is outstanding! You can tell she genuinely cares about the students

I teach at this school, so I am obviously biased. With that up front, I will say that we have a wonderful group of students and staff who make each day a pleasure. Our principal sets a positive energy tone and our students respond so well. McDowell has some special attractions that you may wish to k
Posted by a principal on 4/14/2019I love being apart of the McDowell community. I have 2 children who attend this school currently and i am so happy with our experiance here. My 3rd grader has faced several challenges and i have always had great communication with his teachers to ensure his learning environment suites his needs.
Posted by a parent on 8/23/2018When I read the other reviews on this school I was disappointed and was apprehensive to admit my son for KG, but I am glad I did. My shy and introvert kid is opening up and socializing with friends.
Posted by a parent on 1/20/2017My older son attended McDowell School and my daughter currently attends and both love their school. All the staff is great ,dedicated and very helpful! They were able to identify right away that my child had special needs and got him the accommodations and help he needed to be successful! THANK YOU
