I have two children in McNeal. My son has special needs with an IEP. We are very happy here, he gets the help he needs, the staff is kind and caring. Both of my kids love going to school!

My son has been going there 4 years now. The principal has come and gone. Not that it has changed any. The line to drop your child off is HORRIBLE!! Its connected to a middle school and you sit in line for 15 mins. On a good day and at 8 am you might sit for 8 mins.... The teachers are a hit miss my child has a learning problem, we went through a few teachers the first 2 years but they are now working with our 504 plan. This year has been good!

McNeal is an excellent school. My children have attended this school since 2010 and I've grown happier each year. From the very beginning my children were excited about reading due to the Accelerated Reader program and the amazing media center. Both read at least 2 grade levels above their own. The Fine Arts program is second to none, including Art, Music, Engineeriing, PE, Science Lab and Media. The PTO is extremely organized and keeps us less involved parents informed through emails, their website, FB, and google calendar. Every fundraiser is successful and shows that the parents are committed to providing the school with what it needs. Most parents are college educated and successful and the caliber of students at the school reflects that. Each child receives a daily agenda which fosters communication between the parents and teachers. The administration is readily accessible and the Asst Principal is particularly friendly, caring and helpful. She is at every event. I highly recommend this school and Lakewood Ranch is an awesome community to live in!
