I attended Masuk for all 4 years of my secondary education. Despite the option to attend private schools, I opted to stay local and attend this school. Over the years, I have come to realize that the education I received while at Masuk was truly outstanding. I was blessed spend time with rigorous science teachers, phenomenal language arts faculty and highly engaged music and arts faculty who provided encouragement and a myriad of options to expand my horizons. These men and women set high expectations, created a positive, constructive learning environment and held I and my classmates to high standards. I have seen again and again how the lessons I learned while a student at this school positioned me well for future success, ultimately earning multiple degrees from Ivy league institutions, where faculty regularly commented favorably on writing skills I learned from English faculty at this school. I attended Masuk ~ 20 years ago, so I'm sure things have changed as teachers, staff and admin have moved on or retired. But if the current faculty are even a fraction as outstanding as the faculty who taught me, this is still an outstanding school.

My experience at this school was excellent. I only attended for half a year before moving away, but in that time, my teachers left quite the impression! This school taught me to be politically aware from a very young age, and this led to my eventual Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from a highly ranked school! Thanks, Monroe El, for giving me a solid start in life!

Sub par special needs program. Unless your child is perfect this is not the school for them. All of the special needs kids are lumped together into one setting (Down syndrome, Autism, OHI, ED, ID, speech and language impairment etc) District tries to bully special needs parents kids into giving up services. Miraculously, (sarcasm intended) the school managaes to "heal" your child and all report cards indicate they have "mastered" all of their goals.
