My experience with SCMS was an awesome one. My son was there for three years. The teachers are wonderful! They will contact you in case of anything. The counselor is awesome too. I could get in touch with anyone and at any time.

I will admit, there was a bug problem when I first started this school, and it was NASTY, but the bus are mostly gone now, students don't really get too sick around here, and the worst I have heard was food poisioning (just pack a lunch and you will be fine) the teachers are very strict about sharing food, and the school itself isvery secure, we do monthly fire drills, and lockdown drills, and tornado drills hapen here too, there is a police officer here, and you must sign in with an id just to visit the school, or take a child home

Our experience was a breath of fresh air. The school administration staff was very impressive with any of our needs. The boys had great teachers, with impressive communication.

My child is my priority. The fact that he doesnt want to enroll in a private school, because it is much closer to where we live, is an attestation to his feeling and sense of belonging. His teachers are hands down, one of the best teachers you could find. I would rate this school a five stars *****
