9/10 - there is always room for improvement. But as my child has gone here since pre-K, she has loved every day of going to school. Now in Kindergarten, she's adjusting to her new Teacher, who is also AMAZING. People actually care. I've never had an issue with staff, other parents, Bus Drivers, etc.

When your children are on the bus they do not fall under the care of the principal, but rather the transportation dept. get their phone number and contact the director of trans. make sure your children are getting on the correct bus and make sure you are at the stop to meet them when they get off. So many times there is no parent at the stop to meet their kindergarten child and the driver must keep the child on the bus till the end of routes.

I graduated from Maplewood Elementary School in 2009. I went all through this school and made many friends. The teachers were wonderful and always were helpful and friendly to my parents and I. I have a lot of great memories from this school. The principal went I went there was horrible and favored the grade below me. Now they have a new principal which seems to be better than the old one. This is a really great school and I would highly recommend you send your child to this elementary school if you want them to get a good education. Their mascot is the cougars. Their school colors are blue and white.
