Both my children attended Mckevett school . This 100 + year school in the heart of Santa Paula has the most beautiful Mosaic Art done by the 4th grade students and their teacher Mr. Miller .Teachers and staff are amazing . I was a very involved parent and was able to see first hand the love and compassion the teachers and staff had for every student. Mckevett Staff promotes positive behavior and kindness. Pick up and drop off is not the best but easily can be fixed by parking and walking to the front of the school where the teachers walk their students out. ( one of the my best memories seeing my kids eyes when they spotted me )The principal along with every staff member assures that every student receive the best education and safe environment for every child.

We are new to the area and my daughter attended Mckevett Elementary this year. The school has a big problem with parking and parents double parking while dropping their kids off in the morning. A lot of parents and students walking within the roadways around the school and there isn't even a crossing guard (accident waiting to happen). I also found that a lot of the children looked down upon my daughter and my family for not being among the majority of the population when it comes to ethnicity. My daughter did not feel very comfortable at this school, but we don't have a lot of choice within the community. I had no idea that ethnicity or race played such a huge role with young children. I'm not sure the school is in tune with the underlining ethnic issues and social disruption that occurs when a child of a different ethnic background (other than that of the majority) attends this school. If you don't feel welcome or safe how can you learn?
