Madison Cross Roads Elementary School

What a great school! My was a bit apprehensive at first, but as a former teacher myself....I was very impressed with the resources, attitude and atmosphere of the school. This is our second year at this school, and we are very pleased. My oldest attended last year (now at Sparkman Middle, another great school!), and he was well prepared for the transition.

I have two children and this is our second year at Madison Crossroads. I am very pleased. The teachers are excellent and a lot of them really do go above and beyond ! The administration is very supportive and friendly. As far as the PTO, I have learned just this year (and my oldest is in 4th grade!) that it really is what you can put into it as parents. The teachers and administration have so many tasks they have to do it's impossible for them to do it all some times. Parents make a HUGE difference!! This is the first year I've been able to volunteer and it is such a rewarding and enlightening experience that I would encourage all that can possibly volunteer to do so. You will not regret it.

This will be our last year of elementary school! Over the years we have developed a great relationship with both the administraiton and teachers. We have a great support staff, and great parent volunteers, not to mention a national award winning math specialist who works tirelessly to improve our students' math skills. Great place to be involved and feel a part of everything.

I am admittedly a 'school' snob and was quite concerned about the financial status of fellow students as indicated on this board and others like it, not to mention the school scores ... yikes. We entered K with a backup plan to pull our child out and enter him into private school if necessary. Our experience thus far has measured up to the DOD school systems for Kindergarten. We will start 1st grade next week, hoping to have the same experience as last year. It really is all about the teachers ... and so far we have had some great ones!

I would like to say I am very Happy with Madison Cross Roads elementary school. We are new to the area. My child has a wonderful kindergarten teacher. The principle is very nice and my child is learning so much at the school. I do recomend this school.

My children have gone to MXR for 4 years now and I absolutely love it. The staff is very caring and always go above and beyond the duty of teachers. My children have loved this school and I look forward to the coming years at MXR!

My son began his education at MXR this year. He has had the most wonderful experience. The Kindergarten teachers strive to bring our Alabama students above the median. The PTA needs improvment. A shift toward more attention on Parent/Teacher communication would be a great improvement. The PTA is more involved in other activities rather than focusing on the Parent/Teacher relationship. Parents would be able to help assist their students in correcting or improving their learning ability if the Teachers were given the forum to gudie us toward these goals. A mandatory Parent /Teacher conference per grading period would be a great improvement.The system of course is in need of any financial assistance it can receive. However, both economic and proper use of what they have has been achieved. I would choose to move to this school district again if given the choice. Sincerely, HDJ
