I've been going to Mekeel since kindergarten and am impressed with this school. Though small, it has a loving environment and connected teachers who want the best for their students. This Christian-founded school is very inclusive and diverse. Aside from its strong academics, this school also has a stellar sports program, particularly in the basketball and volleyball departments.

The community at Mekeel Christian Academy is strong and very involved. Sports teams have won multiple awards and give every student a place where they feel important and can push themselves. Academics are not the school strongest point, but they still surpass many schools in the surrounding areas.
