Maxwell Park International Academy

Maxwell Park elementary school has been a great transitional school for my granddaughter. She came in after this school year began from Houston, Tx and got into a really great class with a teacher who gives her all to her students. She also became involve in very productive afterschool programs, from yoga to art to basketball. Nonetheless, they defnitely need money to facilitate all they try to offer to the children. They could use the money for the basics of course, but I would love to see a small computer lab established. Computers in school are no longer a luxurym they are essential learning tools.

the teachers and the students are dedicated and all are trying hard to make this neighborhood livable!

My son has been a student @ Maxwell for 2 years now. I do believe that the staff is very caring and dedicated to providing the children with the warm approach they need. However it is very unorganized...im not sure if they even have a PTA. Havent heard about one since my son has been there. Mr. Walls is the principal this year and so far I think he is doing a great as far as the interaction with the students. I do wish Maxwell Elementary the best and hope for more parents like myself who are hands on in their childs education.
