Midway Elementary School of Science and Engineerin

Concord is a wonderful school with a caring staff and great kids.

This is a really good school... I am very happy with everything I had so far experience at this school... Mrs. Mackison and Mrs. MaCalister are the best of all... This school have a really good program

-Church based school-Non-certified teachers (mom's from the church) and only one per subject. If you don't get their style of teaching, you've wasted your time. There is no additional help provided. My child comes home crying often due to being humiliated in class by a teacher. The "Headmaster" is spineless and takes no action to address.-Good sports opportunities-Bullying comes from the parents, not the children/students. The amount of judging and gossiping is immeasurable, especially from the parents that are associated with the church.-Homework is piled on purposefully to give the impression it's an academically challenging school. However, given the quality of teachers, its merely a smokescreen.-Constantly haggling about giving more money- We attend only because this is the least of the 2 evils between here and Public school and the kids have friends there. Anderson has no other good private options.

As a middle school teacher at St. Joseph Catholic School, I am blessed to be able to educate children in a faith-filled environment. We pray before every class and all the teachers integrate the Catholic Faith into every lesson. The values of faith and knowledge are seen in the actions of all the children; all of the children are respectful and helpful to the teachers and other children. The middle school children are shining examples to the younger children and the younger children are always respectful and joyful! As a teacher, I am privileged to know my middle school students, but I also know the younger children. I know almost all of the students by name. St. Joseph is academically excellent; the curriculum goes beyond the state standards. St. Joseph is a blessed place where challenging academics and a strong faith-filled environment are seen everyday.

I have attended this school since I was two years old and wouldn’t have it any other way. The small classroom sizes force students to learn how to interact effectively with others in an interpersonal environment, which is something you can’t get at a large public school.

Robin Locke is nothing short of extraordinary. The love and dedication she pours into her students is evident in everything she does. She has a beautiful gift for making every child feel seen, valued, and capable. By giving each student an equal opportunity to perform and shine, she builds not only musical talent, but confidence that will last a lifetime.Her engaging and uplifting teaching style keeps the children excited, focused, and proud of their growth. The joy they feel when performing speaks volumes about the safe and encouraging space she creates.Northpointe Elementary is incredibly blessed to have an educator like Robin Locke shaping young hearts and minds through music.
