My experience at Mater Lakes has been remotely enjoyable. It's a good school with some remarkable teachers. Some teachers really care to help you and expand your knowledge. We show lots of school spirit and build a community together. Some of the faculty can be not helpful. They sometimes don't do much. That doesn't have to do with the teachers however.
