This is a good school if your child is average. My child had a learning disability and they refused to give him accomadations. I had to move him to a public school. So much for a Christian attitude.

My son attended Kindergarden at SMM. He was not at the top of the class, and so they had no use for him. All they are worried about is having higher achievers so that they can keep their Blue Ribbon standing and be able to brag that they have such a good school when actually this does not reflect their

Overall, an outstanding school. Academically competitive with Lake Castle but a warmer, more embracing environment.

I would recommend this school without reservation for Catholic and non-catholic students who are academically serious and have support at home. Read less

In this day in age this is a rare thing for a school to teach. Let's thank SMM for teaching our kids discipline and respect. In many cases the school does what many parents should be doing at home. That is, teaching kids to behave appropiately regardless of where they are. Being a kid does not mean being a brat. Read less

Teachers here could use a bit more patience with the kids (especially the boys). They seem too quick to discipline them for what I feel is typical boy behavior, but the education is excellent.
