MCS school and community has been an incredible blessing to our family. Our daughters are thriving in ways we could have never imagined. They love taking part in all of the different, high-level, activities that MCS offers such as Performing Arts and competitive Athletics. We are grateful for the Christ-centered and uplifting learning environment.

School used to be great, but now kids to teacher ratio are very high, parking is horrible at this school, 1/3 of the parking lot is designated for teacher, the other 1/3 is designated for students, last 1/3 they designated about 10 spots for auction. actual parking space in school for parents are only about 40 spaces, this school also try to mediate everything instead of teaching the kid who did wrong and learn how consequence works, you will not get a good answer if your kid gets into problem with other kids in school. This school unfortunately has become a school that just cares about money.

MCS is a good school but is not very diverse in thinking. The academics are difficult and the amount of homework is quite intense. However, the teachers are supportive and available to help and care about the kids. There is also quite a difference in the caliber of teachers but they all still care about their students.

I honestly don't know where to begin with the unprofessionalism of this school. My child attended for a grand total of 2 months as they completely discriminated against our family.We were open and transparent with the fact that our child was in need of a school that supported Christian values and a...
