My son was transformed during his 9 years at this school. When he started as a kindergartner, he was reserved, awkward and had difficulty connecting with peers. By eighth grade, he blossomed into a confident, kind and well-liked kid who thrived academically and socially. His 8th grade teachers said he represented all the values of MCDS. He is rising sophomore now who is thriving at his high school. We attribute to the faculty and staff of this amazing school.

I love that my kids are receiving an incredible education in a safe and inclusive environment. When I put my kids on the school bus in the morning I feel confident that they are going to have a safe, fun and new day everyday. MCDS encourages my kids to take risks and be their best selves. MCDS teaches them to be good people and to help others. MCDS gives them the confidence to try new things even if they may fail. I know my kids will be well prepared in life thanks to this school

When I transferred to public school, I was behind in math, average in english, average in science and behind in history. I will say, this school has an e...

Very disappointing experience for my children. It was all about social justice and equality, not preparing my children for the real world. High school has been a struggle due to lack of academic rigor. Gorgeous campus and my kids loved the cafeteria food, but they left the school anxious and unhappy...
