Mase could be a good school if they would do better by there students no one listens to them, they lock the bathroom door so the kids can't use it. because of a few bad kid and the lunch room they delegate food to curtain student's they want . there should be enough of all the food so the student can have a choice of what to eat. they just really started offer classes that have anything to do with engineering,they can't keep teachers and there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. they also have outdated online courses for the kid so when the kid go online to do there work it is graded incorrectly they don't have anyone to go to because it is always passed on to someone else and nothing gets done about it so the kids are failing. they do have a new director not sure of what he will do in this up and coming school year but Memphis Academy of Science and Engineering needs to clean up there act.

If I had to describe this school it would be one word "OPPORTUNITY". They inspire their students in fields you wouldn't think possible in this society and day and age. Great Job!

As an avid supporter of Memphis public schools, let me state for a fact that MASE has just as many behavioral problems, if not more, for a school of its size. In addition, the administration of this school has a history of adopting a "smile-to-your-face/stab-you-in-the-back" attitude toward its faculty and staff. With these conditions in existence, along with letters from benefactors calling for the school's shutdown, I would never consider sending my child there in the first place. MASE, who do you think you're fooling?

It is time for an overhaul at this school. New ACTIVE leadership, better curriculum, better management of what few funds they do have access to. Much like the majority of the school system in Memphis, the old traditional ways don't work anymore and narrow minded pundits insist on focusing on test-taking skills, rather than actual learning. At least MASE doesn't have a history of violence on school campus, the school is fairly small, so behavioral issues aren't as bad as at some other schools in the area. The worst part is that honestly, there aren't really any better public school/charter options in the inner city area of Memphis. Be prepared to basically homeschool as much as you can and put your child at MASE mostly for record-keeping purposes.

MASE is a fake school that needs to be investigated. The current leadership is weak. There is more wrong than right in this place.
