My daughter went to private school with good experiences until she went to McKinney Christian Academy. The children were extraordinarily mean and clique-ish, and the faculty turned their heads to bullying, even though they claimed to be Christians of the highest caliber. Also, many of the teachers and administration were divorced, which to me, seems totally contrary to Christian teachings.
Based on my experience with this school and my daughter's experience, the administration was quite intolerant of children that didn't fit into a very narrow definition. We took our daughter to a psychologist because of what she was experiencing at MCA while a student there - especially the severe bullying. His recommendation - get her out of that school immediately! That was three years ago and it was the best decision we've ever made.
Earlier this year, my daughter was asked to write about high and low points in her life as a school assignment. Her only low point - McKinney Christian Academy. This was quite upsetting to me because the two years at MCA have obviously left scars that will last a lifetime. Today she attends a school where the teachers enjoy her and she's surrounded by friends. She's happy and well-adjusted.
If you are considering McKinney Christian Academy, my only caution, based on my family's experience with this school, is...BEWARE. I cannot convey how important it is to dig deep beneath the surface of a school before sending your child to it. I was lax with respect to MCA and regret it deeply.
