this school is NOT for high achieving students. it will NOT accommodate a students intellectual needs and make certain changes, contrary to what is being advertised. they have no enrichment plans to help support such students. as a parent, my pleas to make small changes to academically support my student fell on deaf ears. it is very unfortunate.

Unfortunately, not good. This was a very unpleasant experience.

Save your money! No abstract thinking. Social girl on girl bullying is unbelievable heights! The curriculum is sub par. Independent thinking is lost concept with the "friend groups". Teachers bully each other then trickles to students as this is their example. The focus is not on academic. Hush money exists. This school should be shut down. ~parent

There is rampant cheating going on at the school which the administration seems to ignore. They are more concerned about harassing the students over non-existing dress code violations.

I wouldn't be where I am today if it were not for this school. It prepared me not only for college, but for life. The president is great, and in the past year has made great changes to make the school even better. It was hard, but all the work really does pay off in the end.

I have one child that graduated from MMI, and one child who still attends MMI. I could not be happier with the school and the education they received. My oldest child is preparing to begin his senior year at a highly selective university in Pa, and I realize he is doing as well as he is because of his MMI education. There really wasn't an adjustment for my son to college, and I know my daughter will make the leap to college with ease. I cannot say enough about MMI's college counseling and how they work with each child individually. The college counselor made us aware of many scholarships that are available, and because of that over 80% of my son's college tuition was paid. I highly recommend MMI to parents who want the best for their kids.

I can't imagine sending my child to any other school in the area. MMI offers a great curriculum and really challenges my child. There is no question the academics are first rate...look at the average SAT and ACT scores and how they compare to other schools. It is a small school, and that is something my child likes since he is involved in sports. We don't qualify for financial aid, but we feel it is the best money we spend. I would recommend this school to everyone.

MMI Prep has been a wonderful alternative to the public school educational system in our area. Both of our children have gained wonderful study skills and self confidence since attening MMI. The assemblies and open house presentations have aided in their development of public speaking and the teachers, for the most part, really care about the students. Because of its small size, the kids have athletic opportunities that they would not be given in a much large school where the competition would eliminate many from making the team. MMI's athletic programs have increased throughout our time there. Because the students are treated with more respect and given more freedom, they are more likely to rise to the challenge and work harder academically. I am confident that grades are not bought. Our childrens grades (good and bad) have always reflected their performance. There are children from many well-to-do families not making the grade. Snobby kids can be found anywhere. MMI actually has a large student population receiving financial aid! I have no doubt that we made the right decision sending our children to MMI.

I have been very happy with my children attending MMI. The Administration and Faculty are terrific. I feel as though my child is thoroughly prepared for college as his older siblings have been when they graduated from MMI. Kudos to all, I wouldn't hesitate to send my child there at all. They have also been very generous with scholarships that have helped our family greatly

This is the best school I have gone to so far in my academic career. This school has given me many challenges, but with the teachers wonderful support I easily got straight A's at MMI. I loved the projects we would do that helped us understand what we had been studying.

As a former student and graduate, I must comment on the terrific education I received from MMI. My family was not rich by any means, so the rumors of "buying" grades are false...I was a top grad and obtained a lot of financial aid so I could stay enrolled there. It paid off and I breezed through college. This was due to terrific teachers who cared about you individually. That was several years ago. Upon returning to visit, I learned that some of those teachers have either retired or left on their own terms, and their replacements, from what I've heard, simply don't measure up. Also, the higher-ups were not very personable to me and I have a feeling the school's identity is being compromised by those who want to make change for the sake of making change. This was a 5-star school when I attended. Now? I'm not so sure...

Challenging, Caring , with great kids and staff. My child would easily get staright A's with little effort at the public school. 2009 was his first year at MMI, Yes he wrote many papers, is learning to speak in Public and is learning so much! Perhaps the previous reviews are from people who had personality issues with staff, or maybe their kids didn't try hard or ask for help. It is a awesome school, with very challenging academics, adn aims to treat the teens like an emerging adult with increased expectations until proven otherwise.

I am a graduate and I have to honestly have to say that MMI has ruined my college career. I was onf the top of my class and good grades at 75 and above. If you get a C you were happy. It did not help me by going fast in my studies i.e. sixth graders work on an 8th grade level they went so fast allot of parents complained and the school did not renew the teachers contracts. All I got out of it was public speaking and how to write papers. It is a very small school and we wasted money on nothing. The kids are VERY hard to deal with and make up 70% of you school day. The principal and vice principal are clueless about bulling and make it seem like it s not happening but they are wrong. I am very sorry and regret attending MMI.

I can't believe how terrible this school is?! It is so expensive. You seriously buy all your grades. They go so fast and you never learn. They kids are soo stuck up and if you have a problem the first kid who runs and tattles is the one Dr. Fowler, principal, believes first (the bullie). This is a terrible school to sent you child to. Save the money for college because its not worth it for this school. Honestly. If both 6th grade teachers get fired from parents complaining then what would think. Bad accidemics, bad principal, bad kids, bad everything.

I do not understand how these kids are advancing to the next grade when they flunk math or science - take summer school then advance to the next year. When I was in high school 20 years ago, if you did not perform well here you were kicked out. Now, they "try" to tutor your child, but grades still stay the same, i.e. flunking, you just go to summer school. My child was a honor student all throughout life, and then went here. The worst change ever. Now my child's scores are on permanent transcripts for college. We changed to AP courses at the high school and doing well. God I pity the kids who stay there and try to get into a good college/university with the grades at MMI. I don't know how this school is even in operation by doing this.

This school is all about the money. Kids are stuck up and form clicks. They lead false advertising. Your buy your grades here. It's all about the money and the power of who knows your mommy or daddy
