I’ve had three kids go through this school K-5. There are some fantastic teachers. Front office staff is friendly. There are a lots of resources provided at this school and PTO supplements with fundraisers and service projects. I like that the elementary, middle and high are clustered on one campus, it promotes community experiences.

Unfortunately, with our experience, the teaching at the school has been lacking. There are teachers who work really hard and teach the students the material. With some going the extra mile and making learning fun and engaging for the students. However, most teachers do not teach. They show videos and hand out materials, but do not teach the material to the students. My kid has to learn most everything from us or from instructional videos online. Some teachers will even just sit in the classroom on their phones. One teacher has been out of school for most of the last year and a half. We reached out to the administration and was told that they had family issues. I completely understand; however, the substitute teachers had no materials or instruction so there was no learning during all the time. We also reached out about the lack of teaching in some of the classrooms, but never really got a response. We got an email that it would be looked into, but no follow up. I would also say that the athletics programs are the driver of the school, even to the detriment of education. There are fundraisers for the athletics programs while some classes don't have enough money for basic classroom materials. We moved here because we thought this was a good school. Knowing what I know now, I would have not made this choice. I do feel that the school is safe, or as safe as it could be. The resources officers are always on school grounds and always in plain site. They are also very helpful and engaged with the students. The ratings for this school are very high, but are based on outdated information. The number of students is higher and the teacher to student ration is also higher than reported.This is not a bad school, but it does not meet the rating that most people see and believe it to be.

I am a student here and I have had a lot of fun and the teachers are great. There is a lot of social tiers but thats kinda every where. There are drugs but just warn your children to stay away from those people. There is hardly any racism. The principal now (Dawn Pool) is super nice and she is east to talk to. Its pretty easy to make friends and the activities are awesome. I am a rising freshman now so I will no longer be attending MCMS but it is really fun and I like it.
