GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My child is on the Autism spectrum and is a part of the Mt Zion community. This school has been an amazing experience for our whole family. The teachers, therapists, support staff, administrators, and students have been so supportive and inclusive. My child loves to catch the bus and go to school everyday! The excitement and joy I have witnessed when he talks about school, his teachers and friends is heartwarming. They go on field trips and develop their social/emotional as well as academic abilities. The past 2 years have made a world of difference in all our lives. We have gone from non-verbal to non-stop verbal! If you are a parent with a special needs child, this is a school that won’t disappoint! We have experienced other schools and programs that promise a lot and do not deliver, or even create an environment that dampens his spirit and personality. MZES has been a breath of fresh air. We know when he gets on the bus for the day he is safe, will have a good experience, and come home bouncing off the bus saying “Mt Zion Elementary, Did you have fun?!”
