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 call! Wouldn't want my child anywhere else!
