This school only cares about test scores and not the students overall needs. They are constantly putting on a show.

If your child does not fit nicely into "the box", they will struggle here. Small town mentality, which means leadership supports the teachers and not the students. Home school your kids, or move to Yulee, Florida, so your unique, one-of-a-kind child can thrive.

My kids have always gone to MLC. If it was not for the IEP teacher my child would have never gotten where she has today. The principal makes you feel very welcomed.

Not only is this a beautiful school, the principal at this school is incredible! She knows each child and when an parent walks into the school she knows exactly who they are there to see. It's very impressive when the student body is about 500 children. She is dedicated to education and willing to work with her incredible team of teachers tailor educational solutions for each student. The school is able to work with children of any ability level from learning disabled or handicapped to the most gifted students.

My observations are that children here are warmly elcomed by teachers, scholl employees, and administrators. They are recognized as individuals; opportunities for leadership and self-responsibility throughout the day.
