I went to Margaret Mace Elementary from 3rd grade to 8th... It was such a great experience for me filled with great memories!! The school has great values and exceptional Teachers who really care!! Proud to be a falcon !! lol


Posted March 11, 2004

My granddaughter attended this school from kindergarten until nearly the end of 6th grade. When we moved it was very hard on her and she still wants to go back. That was 2 years ago. The quality of education there far outshines other schools in the area. Many of the things she was taught in 5th and 6th grade they were just beginning to teach in 7th and 8th grades at her new school. Accolades to Principal, Teachers and staff of Margaret Mace.

My daughter went to Margaret Mace for four years before moving to Missouri. I think it is the best school. All the teachers she had were great. My daughter and myself loved this school.
