Edith E. Mackrille School

My experience here was horrible with my son. The leadership is horrendous. They like to sort people into categories and only like to look at things through one set of lens. They ignore if there could be other reasons and push their own agenda and what they want. Every time I pass the school, my belly tumbles and I have the most depressing surge through my body.

My children have prospered so much since attending this school.

This schools is not very parent friendly. I never feel that I know what is going on in the classroom or the school in general, even after many attempts to get involved. Walkways and courtyards are not fully shoveled in the winter for walkers, even after I direct comment from the principal that he was going to make sure it got done. Several times I have shown up for school plays and parents had to wait outside (one time in the freezing cold), until they opened the side door for us. There were very old grandparents and babies waiting outside...20+ minutes. If you want to improve test scores to get yourself off of the list of failing schools in the state start with reaching out to the parents....there is a HUGE school (teacher)-parent disconnect at that school.

I'm now a pharmacy student in Amman,Jordan. In my fourth year. I studied up to second grade in this school and used to live right in front of it. It was really cool, Great memories. and I really miss it :) :)

My husband and I love LWCA. Our son just completed his first year ( kindergarten) and without a doubt it has been a wonderful experience. Our son is reading and doing math on a first grade level, exposed to science and social studies but most of all, he loves LWCA ( teachers staff and made a host of friends) his understanding of biblical principles and scriptures has increased significantly! We are so disappointed that the school is closing. We were ready to plan the rest of his christian middle school education at LWCA. I'm sure God has his plans and reasons. We will truly miss this awesome community.

My son has attended olov school since pre-k I can't say enough about the great staff and the wonderful education he receives each year from his amazing teachers through out the years. Sad to say this is his ladt year olov will be closing this year we are very saddened by the news. Olov will remain in our hearts the best of the best!!!!
