Mc Meen Elementary School Reviews

 
McMeen is a good school that could be even better. It would be great to see more parents get involved. It would also be great to see more male teachers on staff, and maybe have some curriculum for gifted and/or advanced students added. McMeen does do a good job at acknowledging positive performance both in the classroom and in the community.

I have seen a devoted core of parents,who one can count on seeing, staffing the booths and tables at the many extra curricular activities held each year but I also see parents from ALL demographics attending. Students of every ethnicity and race, from all over the world, make this school a priceless experience. Children learn what they live and at McMeen they learn to judge others by the content of their character. There are a few discipline problems but lets put most of the blame where it belongs; on the PARENTS and the school district. Dr DeGuire is still the principal and yes, he still does an AWESOME job. Many fine teachers too!

In our experience, McMeen has excellent grade 4 and 5 teachers (both of my sons have been lucky to have Mr Reynolds over the past 2 years). Mr Reynolds is a dynamic, 'strict-when-needed' teacher who displays a great sense of humour to kids and parents alike. The principal Dr De Guire is a great man who treats all students with resepct and kindenss. The school has a diverse student base, which we like. Basketball is offered for grade 4 and 5 students (who have to do their homework in order to reamin on the team). They have a gifted and talented academic program.

Principal Dr. DeGuire was great, but not sure if he's there anymore. MOst of the teachers were pretty good but discipline problems are many so it interferes with kids who are high achievers and teachers have to deal with policing as much as academics. Nearly Zero parent involvement and many of the fundraisers resulted in bounced checks from parents. We transferred to Cory Elementary after trying McMeen for 2 years. My guess is they will be a Charter School soon.
