Maywood Hills is really a gem of a public school. The staff is both passionate and professional and our oldest daughter has really thrived there for the past two years. Not only are the teachers excellent themselves, but they enable parental involvement in the classrooms through the art and science docent programs as well as reading and writing helpers. My wife and I were both able to participate this past year, and it was really worth our while. The PTA is also strong and active and has just band together to add $30k worth of additional play equipment to the school playground, addressing perhaps the schools only weak spot. This year my daughter placed into the EAP program, so she is off to Shelton View, but we will miss Maywood and are looking forward to next year when her sister will start their.

Our kids have attended here for the past 3 years and we love it! Great teachers, advanced learning and the parent involvement is an added bonus! They really do alot of hands on- and a science fair every year even at the kindergarten level..and my son's reading level went from 1st grade to a 5th grade level in one year, Thanks maywood for teaching him to love learning! really, a great school!

The staff at Maywood Hills was very instrumental in getting my granddaughter the special resources help she needed for certain problems she was experiencing. This helped her tremendously with adjustments and improved her academics.

My son moved to Maywood this year from a Catholic School. We have been incredibly impressed by the Principal Kelly Aramaki as well as his 2nd grade teacher Linda Norwalk. The school is well organized, the academics are challenging, and the parents are really involved. We are lucky to have this resource in our neighborhood and my son has really benefited from change. He has Aspergers Syndrome but the enviroment has allowed him to be blend in unnoticed as well as be really successful in a regular classroom.

The principal is new, his 2nd year at Maywood. The kids love the principal, he is young but listens to parents and their concerns. My kids love MWH. They are comparable to Heritage Christian in academics, but have much more to offer the student in resources and social activities. Many Christian teachers and has a Mom's in touch program for Christian moms. gotta love this school!
