The best part of the school was the academically challenging work they provided, however the worst part of the school was the culture. There is no culture in Maize South, so it's boring. Perhaps it has to do with the environment surrounding the school.

Maize South is an amazing school district. There are many opportunities and amazing teachers. I am just a freshman but already I am seeing all of the possibilities I have. In addition too our options we also have the MCA. This is full of even more amazing classes.

Extremely poor. If I didn’t have the opportunity to transfer to MHS, I would have never made it through high school.

My school is MSHS and i am a freshman there this year. I went to MSES and MSMS. You can not find another school as great as these schools! There are a lot of extra activities! The high school already feels like family and I cannot wait to see what the years to come bring me.
