I agree that the ratio of students that go on to college is exceptional and feel that the children get a very good education. However, nothing is ever perfect and McAuley is sadly known for it's bullying problem and lack of interest in stopping it. The religious aspect of the school is almost gone based on the kids behavior. I find that very sad. I will keep my child there because of the educational value but I am not expecting anything from the school regarding teaching proper values or morals.
The teachers here are phenomenal. The students are ranked high in National testing. The ratio of graduates that go onto college and finish is exceptional. Students throughout the system test well above grade level. The best part is, it is a close, family oriented. Christian based program. You get the safety, security, and progress all in one place.
A great school with a sense of family. Teachers go out of their way to assist students to become the best they can be. Many activities give the students a well-rounded education. Where else can the captain of a sports team also be on the Math, Biology, and Speech Team. I believe my education there was top-notch. ~Kathy S., U.S. Army Nurse
This school offers opportunities for all types of students. Students get the opportunity to be involved in many activities as well as the opportunity for a top-notch education. The memories and friendships made here will last forever.
