Maplewood's academic performance is exceptional, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

The new principal, staff & teachers are awesome. It appears as if the school is being renovated from inside out. The new murals are a very welcome sight indeed! Close Quote

The principal has zero communication or problem solving skills. They are indoctrinating our kids. No allowance for parent involvement unless it's follows their agenda. Close Quote
