They really try and get the kids to do what is necessary

Small school, small classes. Teachers have more time to help kids

This school has many challenges and they don't give up on our kids

I'd give it an 8/10. Murrieta schools are really large and that didn't work for every child. I'm grateful that Murrieta Canyon Academy offers a smaller campus for kids that need more one on one attention.
