Mounds Park Academy

"This is by far the worst school in this state whether private or public. The teachers do not care about the students at all - I observed teachers on their cellphones during class, ignoring children's requests for water, and yelling at a child for falling and crying because he was hurt. This was in the pre-K room, which is their feeder program into the school so it's supposed to be their best foot forward! MPA has a one size fits all and the teachers are not willing to be creative or thoughtful in working with children at all. They think all students and parents should be grateful to be at MPA regardless of the quality of education or treatment they get. This school is also in a very high crime area - there was a shooting right across the street. Look elsewhere."

"After a long search to find a great school for our 7th grader, we were so pleased to find the perfect learning environment at Mounds Park Academy! From the first visit where we toured this amazing facility, we were impressed by the bright hallways, classrooms, the state-of-the-art equipment and the incredible library! Every space at MPA has been carefully crafted to insure the success of the children from kindergarten through 12th grade. Now that our child is in 9 th grade, we know we made the right choice! The teachers, administration and staff are some of the most dedicated, motivated and qualified professionals in the field of education. The rigorous academic catalog is brimming with exciting core classes and enticing electives, all guaranteed to produce a well- rounded education. Beyond the incredible educational benefits, MPA is a very welcoming and inclusive environment where students are allowed and encouraged to ask tough questions, express independent ideas and thrive in a truly nurturing and safe environment. We are so thoroughly impressed and pleased by all the exceptional aspects of the Mounds Park Academy experience and highly recommend it unequivocally without hesitation! We are grateful beyond measure!"

"Amazing school, all-star teachers, and leadership. We are fortunate to be a part of this community and value the education and character building that it provides. If you think it would fit you family, I encourage you to check it out."

"My time at MPA prepared me to be a lifelong learner. I absolutely loved my experience, the friends I made, and the community that I have. I am also incredibly grateful to my parents for making the decision to send me to MPA, and for making the investment in me. I am a better person and a better student because they were so selfless in prioritizing MPA tuition over new cars, vacations or cabins. If you are a parent considering MPA, but hesitant because of the tuition, know that your child, like me, will grow up to be exceptionally grateful that you made the decision to invest in their future with a private school like this one. I can't say enough good things about MPA. It will always be my home."

"Mounds Park Academy offers an impressive academic program and so much more for students! With modern, comfortable facilities, and a dedication to student development, parents can have confidence in the excellent education that their children will receive in preparation for their future. 5 Stars!"
