The staff likes to be involved with the students and they are nice most of the time. The food is terrible and there aren't many different electives to choose from.

The staff was so helpful and kind. Whenever i had a problem they would help me out and make me feel comfortable. It was a small school so everyone knew everyone so there was a lot of personal connections made. Only problem was that since the school was very small there wasn't enough clubs. It wasn't as diverse as i'd like it to be too.

Attending this school for both middle school and high school has shown me how good it is to attend a small school. There is little bullying and everyone from every grade group finds people that they want to be around with. Sure, I haven't had the ultimate high school experience, but I feel as if I'm excelling by hanging around people that care for not only myself, but their futures as well.

Would not recommend school, horrible courses provided and very little opportunities provided to open up your future. Students basically run the whole school and teachers be leaving left and right due to how bad MSA has recently become. And it's a hit or miss that rumors will be spread about you. Ove...
