McKinley Ave Elementary School

My daughter has been at St. Mary Academy now for five years and we LOVE it! The administration and faculty/staff provide a warm, nurturing environment where students thrive academically and spiritually. The dedicated teachers go above and beyond to ensure each child receives personalized attention. Faith and values are seamlessly integrated into daily lessons, fostering strong character development, and confident leaders. The school community is welcoming and supportive, making families feel truly connected. The PTA has many events for the parents to get involved such as International Food Festival, Daddy/Daughter Dance, Moms and Sons Bowling, Kids Kastle, Give to Grow Gift Auction, and much more. The lunch Flex Clubs for students in grades 4-8 offer a variety of activities for the students to engage with other students with similar interests. My daughter specifically loves Drama Club, Homework Help, and Hydroponics. In addition, my daughter runs Cross Country and Track. St. Mary Academy is the place where children learn, grow, love, and serve.

LCA was a great school for our boys. The preschool programs were challenging and fun. The kids are taught not only school subjects but also social skills, how to get along with others, be kind and respectful, etc. the school mirrored what we were working on at home. There are consequences for actions and both good and bad decisions, which we no longer see in the public school system. We move away but still miss the family atmosphere at LCA. God is taught in a real way and they practice what they preach.
