This school has been an ok experience for me. I’ve been at this school for 3 school years (one extra because of the AIM program) and it’s been fine for the most part. I am almost done with my education in this school and I’ve noticed that this last year has been a bit lacking.The teachers are a bit iffy. Some are absolutely amazing, and others not so much. Overall, I would recommend MMS. (ps: I haven’t had a particularly normal education here because of AIM, also known as Alternate Instruction Method. In laymen’s terms: just a gifted & talented program )

Some of the teachers are wonderful and seem interested in the students' learning and reaching goals they set. These teachers appear to be the newer ones. Many of the tenured teachers don't seem interested in helping kids reach individual goals. One (tenured) math teacher even suggested that rather than us worrying about helping our daughter work towards better grades that we tell her that she might not be cut out for better grades and we should really teach her to accept just being below average. The teacher actually said this would be better for our daughter's self-esteem to accept that she wasn't as good as the other kids, rather than be disappointed by trying and failing! I was disappointed that this was the type of teachers this school found qualified to teach the children. The only reason for the two stars instead of one was because there were a couple of teachers who worked with our daughter, set goals with her, and saw many of those goals reached. The "experienced" teachers did little to impress us in that regard.

I am extremely disappointed in this school. Although the principal is great and gets to know the kids the secretaries in the front will not smile or assist you unless you know them personally. They did nothing to assist me in getting appropriate classes for my child even asking them several times throughout the year.
