5 11/4/2007
The quality of academic learning is really great! The useful strategies and programs to approach each student is done in an orderly manner and is significantly superier. The programs of music,art, sports, and other extraccricular activities gives each student a chance to seek beyond their minds. Throughout this, there are awards given out which is wonderful for the school. The faculty is amazing and the teachers are great! The level of parent involvement is done very well because it gives parents a way to be involved but also allows their child to make descisions on their own. Also, it's important to adhend and communicate to the parents so it creates a sort of communication through the parents, faculty, and the students. Mckelvie is a great school!
