We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a wonderful elementary school community. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness not just from the amazing staff, but from the families as well. There’s a strong sense of connection here, and it truly feels like everyone is working together to create the best environment for the kids.The principal is a fantastic leader who is engaged, approachable, and clearly passionate about the success and well-being of every student. You can tell she truly knows the kids and wants what's best for them. The teachers are equally exceptional. They go above and beyond every day to not only teach but to nurture, encourage, and support each child as a whole person.What stands out most is how much the staff genuinely cares. They take the time to understand each student’s needs, celebrate their strengths, and help them grow both academically and emotionally. Communication is strong, and we always feel informed and involved.This school is more than just a place of learning it’s a true community. We’re grateful every day that our child gets to learn and grow in such a positive, supportive, and inspiring environment

My student was discriminated against by a teacher and when she took action and wrote a complaint about him. They said they would take action and they didn’t.

There was a lot of things that happened in MBMS, that ended in a couple kids in jail. I know a person who was so traumatized, they became homeschooled, and left MBMS with an anxiety disorder. Please, for your sake, be careful. They also didn't handle a gun at school with a lock down drill (HUH?)
