6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLots of disrespectful teachers, principal and everyone is more worried about your phone dropping out of your pocket and what the girls are wearing then if you get a quality education. I honestly cannot say anything good about this school except for about 5 teachers out of a lot. Librarian tells kids to shut up and yelled at us every time we went to get books. Kids sells lots of vapes and some weird stuff went down in the bathrooms that I can’t put online. WAYYY too concerned about girls clothes…it’s one thing if you’re wearing booty shorts but you would wear shorts that cover everything, and you have to change. PE favorites are always who is the best at the sports they play for them, not who actually tries. Only the curvy girls get dress codes btw, if you’re flat apparently they don’t care. A lockdown while I was there, lots of fights, kids making threats and posting about guns, etc. Crappy school.Other Review11mo ago - Macon Early College High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOddly, MVI has for the last couple of years had a policy of no homework. This doesn't seem like a good strategy for a school that is performing poorly in standardized tests in all subject areas. Additionally, it fails to prepare students who will be entering the middle school across the street where homework is given and expected to be completed. Another step in the wrong direction this year was the removal of grouping by academic level. Mixing all levels together in classes results in teachers having to teach to the middle in classes of mixed abilities and fails to help both students at the higher and lower ends of the spectrum.Parent Review6mo ago
