McDill is a family where parents, staff and volunteers work together to create unique learning opportunities for each and every one of our students. Our school community works to build fundamental math, reading and writing skills. We strive to provide an environment where students are given the opportunity to grow academically, emotionally and socially. Our whole child focus is what drives our exceptional academic scores.

Our Caught Being Good program encourages our students to be actively involved in shaping the values of our school community. Our school recognizes character traits each month. We showcase how positive choices impact a child's ability to achieve personal success.
