I love this school! I think I`m doing better than I have been and the teachers are all nice (I`m in 7th Grade As of Now) They all help when I ask for help and they do it well Lol Especially "Mean Ms. Frank" She`s not mean she just calls herself that for fun but great teachers, Environment, and Etc. Hope you love this school.

Our kids have been attending MQHR since prek and it has been a blessing of a school. Friendly staff, dedicated teachers, great student-teacher ratio. Our kids have made lifelong friends and look forward to going to school daily.

This is both of my children`s first full year of school. My son is in 2nd grade and my daughter is in kindergarten. My son was put in title 1 for reading at the start of the year for extra help. It was understandable since English is his second language and I had to work with him on his English at home during the pandemic. He has now stopped attending title 1 because of his improvements. He loves to read and has read 7 chapter books this 2023 year. It`s only March! Mary Queen is an environment that encourages the love of learning. I notice my kids want to do the very best they can because that`s what their classmates do as well. My daughter won a panther pride award in her class for being an overall good role model in kindergarten. I am so proud of MQ and of my little panthers.
