Christa Mcauliffe Elementary School

This school is awful!! The teachers are constantly screaming at the kids about everything. I tried to bring my concerns up to the principal and she brushed it off. I got a call from DCF the day after I reported everything to the district. Not really a coincidence. Luckily the case was open and shut.

Cliquish, culturally exclusive, lacks diversity. Poor leadership, fake teachers/families no push for inclusion or change.

Wonderful school and amazing teachers that care.

Moved to this area for its diversity. Broken Arrow has passionate staff and a very supportive PTA! Been here 7 years and have a village of families who all look after one another’s kids. They are so welcoming of new and diverse families.

This school is great when it comes to the teaching aspect. If you have a child in the SPED program then I do not recommend this school whatsoever!! I am a parent with a disability and I ended up getting pushed out of the decision-making process with both of my kids IEP meetings and evaluations. I was not allowed to attend in person meetings unless security was present or they had to be WebEx. I had a disability response that was non threatening, but the administration decided to frame it as threatening even though I had documentation proving that nobody felt threatened. I ended up pulling my kids from the district and putting them into a new district simply because I couldn't handle the stress of what the district was putting my family through.

4 kids in & out of MCA. Hub’s graduated from there in 95. Some past years have been a real doozy with Administration, board & dress code. We actually, wrote the school off at one pount! I’ve noticed MCA gets less & less militant with students (think legalistic heaviness) as the years go by.The dress code is simple & not weird- jeans are allowed finally yay!The school has a Chaplain now & the Spiritual level of the school has massively, brightened & leveled up!Most teachers are wonderful humans & so caring— I’ve heard the Elementary children’s voices spilling into the halls as they start their classroom day with prayer & worship! Along with pledges! The children are prayed over frequently, by their teachers- in public and private! Prayer starts all parent/teacher conference meetings as well! It is soooo wonderful to have that gift!My children have definitely, grown in their intelligence AND relationship with the Lord because of MCA! And MCA keeps trending towards positive changes as the years have gone by. So that’s hopeful that they are not stagnant.I’d say only thing MCA is simply not equipped to handle are learning disabilities. And I definitely, am hoping to see more in the way of school safety (ie. Intruder, parking lot patrol with young drivers etc).
