Our child's experience in a school in CA was fantastic in kindergarten, but absolutely horrifying in first grade.

We decided to return to Seattle in part because we wanted to raise our children in an area where we could still believe in quality public education.

Within 3 days of enrolling our child at McGilvra (for the last 3 weeks of 1st grade), his new teacher, principle and counselor completely an initial evaluation of his learning style to develop a teaching plan for him. T

hat was a welcome change from how the previous school modeled adduction, which was a cookie-cutter approach that teaches to the children, not teaches with their learning style. His second grade teacher is amazing and very invested in his success, as is our son's librarian and even the gym teacher.

The extra-curriculars are very engaging and work in tandem with the curriculum. Also, the parent involvement is outstanding and the school really is a part of the community in which even the local businesses are so immeasurably invested in helping. The children have a huge garden, fantastic arts programming and a solid academic plan that is supported by the teachers and the administrative staff. It's a wonderful school for the children.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
