Alice Maxwell Elementary has been a wonderful introduction to the public school system. The principal is very approachable and brings great enthusiasm to the school. My son's teacher is a great fit for his personality and the classroom is structured to meet the needs of the varying skill levels. The school facility is full of great learning materials, a computer lab, a wonderful library and excels at meeting the needs of the students. Maxwell is a wonderful school and I am thankful to have my son attend. The staff was very helpful during the registration process and has always been available to assist and answer questions. I am very thankful my son attendst his school over the neighboring schools and hope his waiver will be approved for next year.
