Mounds Park Academy

As a new family, we have had a very positive experience at Mounds Park. The academics are rigorous, and we have found that the teachers are equally passionate about students academic as well as social/emotional growth and well being. We have also found the community to be very welcoming and friendly, especially for new students and their families. Our kids LOVE attending school here!

This is by far the worst school in this state whether private or public. The teachers do not care about the students at all - I observed teachers on their cellphones during class, ignoring children's requests for water, and yelling at a child for falling and crying because he was hurt. This was in the pre-K room, which is their feeder program into the school so it's supposed to be their best foot forward! MPA has a one size fits all and the teachers are not willing to be creative or thoughtful in working with children at all. They think all students and parents should be grateful to be at MPA regardless of the quality of education or treatment they get. This school is also in a very high crime area - there was a shooting right across the street. Look elsewhere.

This school ruined my childhood. I was in 5th grade when I broke my leg. I would fall from the slippery cafeteria floor and no one would help me up, even when I was forced to carry my lunch tray with my crutches.
