Horrible school!!! Very unorganized, office staff very rude, they don’t pay attention to their students, my daughter who’s in the 3rd grade came home with makeup on from another girl at school. I provide proof of residency twice and still was harassed and followed home everyday. In a bad area with d
Posted by a parent on 2/5/2025Everyone knows you and your child at Macdonough School. They make you feel like you are welcome. I could talk to my child's teacher or the support staff about what she needed academically any time and they were very open.
Posted by a parent on 6/9/2015A truly excellent school. My son is in kindergarten at Macdonough. The teachers are excellent, the staff is so warm and welcoming, the principal is amazing-- he really knows every kid's name. The other kids are fun and well-mannered. I highly recommend this school.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy oldest child has serious mental health and behavioral concerns. When he was in 1st grade he threatened other kids in the cafeteria saying he was going to "pull the fire alarm and kill his teacher and burn down the school". Not only did they not report this incident, they covered it up! I had to call 211 to get it documented myself and they did not punish my child, or even have the guidance counselor talk to him. They also did not bother to put this in his records and blamed this on him being "off of his meds" when in fact he was on MORE medication but was having it administered at home instead since they started lying and saying his behavior was improved when he started taking them at schoolEven though this was not the case. This is NOT the district for you if your child has behavioral concerns or mental health issuesOther Review9y ago - Lawrence School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter used to attend this school as a preschooler. We had a horrible experience with the school nurse on many occasions. Stalking us about a second flu vaccine while our daughter did not need it at the end.Then asking us to refrain from bringing my daughter to school because she didn't receive a physical on time, we were not informed about a deadline, I received an email from her stating that I can’t bring my daughter to school after x date. Even though we tried our best to provide the document, but the doctor's office's failure to finish the paperwork is beyond our control (it takes 7 days). When we expressed our dislike about it, she was extremely rude. I had to remove my daughter from school and voiced my complaints to her supervisor, school staff and the Middletown Board of Education, but no action was taken. Very frustrating experience. I don’t recommend it.Parent Review1y ago - Spencer School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son had his preschool here and his teachers were excellent. They were sensitive to the peculiarities and needs of each child and maintains a fun and happy learning environment. The curriculum was geared towards kindergarten readiness, since they were already given homeworks and being taught advanced things (math: patterns, addition). I highly recommend this school.Parent Review15y ago - St. Sebastian School
