Glen Worden Elementary School

I’m honestly really impressed with the school. They do a fantastic job of teaching not only the traditional 8 elements in school, but have a hands on garden the kids tend to, a growing fruit orchard the kids help plant, maple trees they will tap for syrup, teach about composting, meditation, kindness, safety (emotional and physical)… Many school could take a huge tip from what they have going on there!

This school is disgusting and crazy, if your giving this school a five star you’re very much wrong. My child told me that a student threw a chair at a teacher. The teachers completely ignore threats unless there told by smarter children or are suicidal threats. Some teachers explain things in the worst way possible. If you think this school is nice, your child is lying.

We have three daughters. My oldest daughter graduated last year from Mekeel and we have two daughters on track to graduate from Mekeel in the coming years. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to enroll our daughter's in Mekeel 9 years ago. The environment at Mekeel is comforting, safe, and supportive and very unique in that we are like a family. The teachers connect with students on many levels (academically, emotionally and spiritually). There is nothing more comforting than knowing our girls are loved and cared for during the most formidable years of their lives by teachers that truly care for them. There is nothing sweeter than the Mekeel culture of upperclassman pouring into the younger students and being fantastic role models for the next generation. Watching upperclassman genuinely love and care for the younger kids is so special at Mekeel. As a parent, I am encouraged about the academic rigor at Mekeel as well as the AP and college credit courses offered at Mekeel. Additionally, our girls have had great success in volleyball, soccer, basketball, track, softball and theatre. We appreciate the blend of academics, spiritual life, athletics and fine arts provided at Mekeel. Students are loved, challenged and cared for at Mekeel and we can't ask much more than that for our girls.
