Beattie Elementary School

Both of our children attended McGraw from kindergarten through sixth grade, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear that every teacher truly loved their job and cared deeply for our daughters — they still enjoy going back to visit! McGraw did an excellent job preparing them for middle and high school, both academically and in building their self-confidence.The school provided countless opportunities for them to explore their academic interests and develop the confidence to share their learning with others. We also loved the strong sense of community, fostered through events like International Night, the spring dance, music performances, and a wide variety of after-school clubs — including running, Legos, robotics, chess, art, and band.Simply put, McGraw loved our kids — and we loved McGraw.

We have already seen one of our children thrive after several years at Johnson, and we're excited our younger son will start in the Fall. Every school in PSD is great but there is something special about the warmth and energy of this school.
