We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Teachers are amazing and really try to connect with you. But the classes can seem pretty easy for advanced students and it's very easy to pass to the next grade in this school

Metropolitan Business Academy (MBA) is a pretty good school. It is full of a bunch of diverse people, who all bring great things to the school. MBA is under new leadership at the moment so the students are adjusting to the new principal. We aren't sure how to feel about this at the moment. MBA teachers are better than most and students have few teachers they strongly dislike. This was my first school on my list because I shadowed here and kinda liked it. The food is alright, we have deli, and hot lunch sometimes sucks. Overall it is a decent school and I recommend it.

I knew I wanted to go to a smaller school as I knew it’d be better for me to focus. They have a mastery based grading system, which really hel...

I've been working at Metro for ten years. I love my coworkers, the students, and community partners. This school made me a better educator, and it continues to motivate me to be better and to keep learning.
