My daughter has had a good experience at this school. The teachers are caring, and the environment is positive and supportive.

My daughter attended MCES this year for pre-k because of our original school district not having room for her for pre-k. Her teacher was amazing!!! all of the teacher's I met were sweet and caring of the children. would recommend this school to anyone! thank you Mrs.Helton and Ms.Solis for being such a great teacher. we will miss this school and the teachers.

I don't know what happened to the last three parents that wrote reviews but my son goes to developmental pre-k at the school and the experience that we had has been really great so for anyone moving into Gurley. I would recommend this school for your kids.

I do not recommend any parent to enroll their child(ren) at this school unless they do NOT have special needs or disabilities. The teachers do not want to "deal" with these children. It's been a nightmare for us.

My child just started school here and already I am very unsatified. Her teacher is very rude and hateful. I am looking into other options for her. This is the worse school I have ever seen. I would recommend avoiding it all costs and I would recommend if you are buying a house not to buy in this district.

My daughter has been attending Madison County Elementary/Middle School for 7 years now and I am so blessed because of it! The principal down to the janitor know my child by name when I have walked down the halls of that school with her - I was amazed! This school is a hidden treasure of the school district! It may not be the prettiest to look at but the quality and dedication of the administrators, teachers and their support staff are amazing. After reading some of those earlier reviews, I felt it a duty to write this. Sometimes parents want to just blame the teaches....You, as a parent and even a student, are responsible for following through with work at home during the school year or summer, even when you don't want to, THANK YOU MRS. MEADOR AND MR. RIDDLE AND ALL OF YOUR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS!!!!!!
