This is a school where rich kids have no consequences and are shown favoritism because their families have money. There are better schools out there.

My daughter has had an excellent experience at Maclay. She is currently a rising senior and has been at the school since Pre-K. The school has a rigorous academic program, including many AP classes, that prepares the students for college. There are a wide variety of sports and activities offered for students. The facilities are above average and the new science building is state-of-the-art.

We have three kids here in lower, middle and upper school. All 3 have been very happy. The education is great, but the small, welcoming community and caring professionals at the school are really not like any other public or private school in Tallahassee. We love Maclay!
