Maxwell Academy was a traumatic experience for our family. If you’re considering having your child attend for their baccalaureate, bilingual program, look elsewhere, especially if your child is not in the student majority demographic.

This school was once adequate, but that changed with a new, unqualified principal. Run from this school if you have a child with special education needs. They don’t even have anyone in charge of special education this year. It’s a mess.

The principal is by far the best principal I have ever met. We have been at a few schools and Maxwell is a little gem of a school. Mandarin, Piano, Choir, and Computer Lab are just the added benefits of Maxwell elementary. My kids are very happy hear and so am I!

I attended this school in the 80s and now my children are attending. However the school is much better than it was when I was there. I love the feel of community the friendships my children and I have built, the teachers and the principal are great also the education is amazing. My 1st grader could be happier and my youngest will start in fall 2014 without any reservations. We are so proud to be a part of the Maxwell family.

I am very much looking forward to sending my children to Maxwell. We came from a Ca. distinguished school in another district and I am very happy with the changes that are currently happening at Maxwell. Maxwell is in the process of applying to become an International Baccalaureate school! Good things are happening!
