South Middle School

My child and my family have been a part of MLS for 5 years now. In that time, I have seen the school grow in opportunities for family involvement, opportunities for elective courses, and the ability to give one on one student support when needed. Our family's hope is that MLS would continue to grow and allow for a high school to become a part of the education they offer. The quality of education at MLS is wonderful. We do not have concerns that our child is not on par with the other private schools in Joplin. It also helps that the teachers have been very supportive when our child needed some extra help on an emotional and academic level.

The staff at this school go above and beyond for their students. My kids are always excited to go and hate missing school days! The teachers focus on the whole growth of the kids, not just the academic parts. They really encourage the students to be their best selves and encourage kindness and inclusion. There is always someone at the door to greet my kids when they walk in and it is usually the principal. The students seem happy and the staff seems to enjoy what they do!
