My overall experience with MPA has been amazing. I graduated with amazing grades and the teachers that I know have helped me understand subjects I've had a hard time with. Something I would to see change is maybe adding sports clubs that are underrated. As a freshman, I have grown to like ice hockey, and I would very much like to participate in it.

Madison Park has a really tightknit community. It is a small school, a community school and everyone knows each other. It makes you feel connected to everyone.

Madison Park Business & Art Academy is one of the most welcoming schools I've attended. I have been at Madison Park since 6th grade and its the same thing every year. Teachers and staff really care about the students future and help them strive to succeed. They also offer so much support to students not only with their education but outside school activities as well. Its more of a family school.
