Grant Middle School

We have two kids in McKinley-Thatcher and they are thriving. Both kids have loved every single one of their teachers and have only ever expressed positive feedback. The community surrounding the school is what makes our experience truly exceptional. An amazing group of parents that are committed to developing their children into respectful and kind human beings.

No he tenido una buena experiencia cn el personal de prekinder, mi hija de 3 anitos ingress en agosto. Y van varias veces que la ENCUENTRO con problemas, mojada de su sudadera las mangas y asi la dejaron el resto del dia,siempre trae. Su calsoncito enrollado no la ayudan a subirselo,se les cayo en el.play ground, no.la atienden definitivamente no les ponen atencion. O de plano esas 2 maestras son muy flojas ..en mi opinion de tener personal capacitado y sinceramente esas 2 maestra no lo estan..o se agarran de la huebonada.

This school has been a fantastic place for our gifted child! The academics run at least one full year ahead, and the children are also grouped based on in-class assessments in core subjects, which has given our child an opportunity to learn with other kids who operate at the same pace. She is challenged, engaged, and most importantly, feels like a part of a community of like-minded learners. At her old school, she consistently complained of being bored and wanted to "stay home sick," or otherwise be excused from going as often as possible. Now, we have offer her emotional support for those days when she is genuinely too sick to attend! She hates missing out on what the class is learning, and loves all of her teachers. Her main classroom teacher has over ten years of teaching experience and really understands young gifted learners. Being a part of the school has also helped us learn how to support her intellectually, socially, and emotionally as we navigate the world of accelerated learning. I know that there were leadership issues before we started, but the interim director has been absolutely wonderful, and we regularly see the school founder and other school leadership at events and on campus. This marvelous gem of a school has been a gift to the community.

St John’s has been a true blessing to our family and three children. St John’s provides an environment for my kids to excel academically, socially and spiritually.
