This school is horrible. Teachers and staff are uncaring about students and their futures. They take advantage of their power as adults. Would not go to this school if I had a choice.

We have attended MCES for 4 years, and now my son is in 5th at SDMS. We love all of the staff, and we have not had any issues. They are very kind and patient. I feel like everyone there cares about each student. They are very communicative, and if your child is absent you will receive a check in

The teachers, principals, vice principals, and even SUPERINTENDENT DO NOT CARE about these kids. It is RIDICULOUS. A teacher getting into a 6 year olds face and none of them care what so ever. Took me 6 months to FINALLY meet his teacher after asking multiple times. The school just didn’t care. When I told them about my son coming home telling me his teachers breath smelt bad (he knew because she was getting into his face and yelling at him). So, next step was to call the superintendent. What did I get? “Sounds like you just need to switch schools” and that was the end of the call. This is absolutely unnecessary. They do not let the parents participate at ALL they just ask for money and everything else from parents but they will not let them participate in anything. Worst school possible.
