Mauldin Middle School

This school is a Leader in Me Lighthouse school and exceptional! We moved from a previous GCS school and have been at Mauldin 2 years. The teachers and all staff are caring and friendly and the Leader in Me program has helped my kids and allowed us many opportunities to be engaed in the school as parents. We had a concern with our daughter and the principal responded to our phone call in minutes, scheduled a conference and worked with the AP and teacher to get it resolved quickly. If you want a school that loves kids, enroll at Mauldin Elementary!

We have a senior and sophomore in their third year at GCA. We love this school and know they will be ready to excel in college.

I strongly agree that the curriculum at Southside Christian School is appropriately challenging and rigorous. My children are consistently pushed to grow academically while still receiving the support they need to succeed. The coursework encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and accountability, which has helped them build both confidence and independence in their learning.I’ve also appreciated that the rigor is balanced, teachers are intentional about meeting students where they are and helping them progress without feeling overwhelmed. As a result, my kids are not only keeping up with expectations but are genuinely engaged and motivated to do their best. Overall, the academic challenge has been a key part of their growth and preparation for future success.

This school is easily one of the worst places you could send your child. They barely teach the required subjects unless God personally signed off on the lesson, it just doesn’t happen.They even decided I was autistic because of my eyesight, which is wild considering that’s not how anything works. And instead of actually helping, they stuck me in the back of the class like that would magically improve my vision. Stunning logic. Because of their neglect, I failed the grade and had to repeat it, not due to ability, but because I literally couldn’t see the board and they couldn’t be bothered to care.If you want your child to learn anything other than confusion and disappointment, I’d look somewhere else. This school couldn’t teach a fish to swim even if the Bible told them how.

My son has been going to MSM for almost 3 years and we love it! The teachers are dedicated and truly care about the students’ growth, both academically and emotionally. The curriculum is engaging and encourages critical thinking, while the supportive environment fosters a love of learning. My son has thrived here, making great friends and developing important life skills. We have grown to appreciate Montessori education and even through “bumps” in the road with his behavior, his teachers and staff have taken the time to meet with us a form a plan to work together and let us feel included in his care.
