This school struggles to support academically accelerated students, often teaching at the pace of the slowest learner. Parents seeking to supplement their childs education face challenges due to limited resources: homework, study guides, and proactive updates from staff are rarely provided. Assignments are frequently inaccessiblegrades appear online, but detailed task descriptions remain hidden. Extracurricular programs, including sports teams, are inconsistently maintained, with many canceled over time. Additionally, experienced educators often leave or depart unexpectedly, raising concerns about staff retention and stability.

The building is old but what goes on inside on a daily basis is exceptional. The staff are beyond professional, compassionate and have a vested interest in each student. They are eager to discuss your child's progress and address any concerns in a professional manner and work with your child to learn from their mistakes. I can't recommend this school enough and am sad that my son will be going off to high school.

Very fun! Although I had to leave before eighth grade, sixth and seventh grade were sooooo much fun. My teachers were awfully kind, except make sure you watch out for the seventh grade honors math teacher :) she is very rude and constantly mocked me and constantly had trouble controlling the class of 24.

Some of the teachers give homework without justifying what you need to do, and give unclear instructions.

The class of 24 has students that have greatly transformed because of faculty.

There was a sexist boy who I took action against, and the principal did not help very much and I felt like I had to run the meeting where he was supposed to apologize to me.

There could be more effort put into my peers with disabilities.

The principal does not put up with anything physical, but needs to take better action against verbal bullying.

My son is in his 8th grade year at MMS. The school atmosphere is very positive and there is a lot of emphasis on teaching students the importance of service as well as academics. I have been pleased with the majority of his teachers and the administrative staff is excellent.

Mr. Graham, our new principal, is a wonderful manager for his staff and role model to the students. He and our VP are not tucked away hidden behind their desks, but out in the student's view as bus call, lunch, and throughout the day. They are truly engaged in the students' well-being. While we all put an emphasis on learning, we also find the value in how happiness impact the school environment. One example, the gym coaches plan wonderful events for the students with team building ties and reward based events so that the students can also enjoy being "kids" still. It creates a wonderful community within our walls. Teachers come to work with joy in their hearts and our short detention list proves that the students are genuinely happy in this place. It's a gem for teachers, staff, parents, and especially our precious students.

One day My daughter's bus was 30 mins late so I called transportation to see where the bus was. I was then told my daughter did not get on the bus after school. I panicked! Transportation called MMS and told me the office was paging her and they spoke to the principal. Transportation explained the situation. The principal told them "I don't get off until 5 and I'm not going outside until then. I will look for her then"! When I was told this I could have reached through the phone! My child is missing and you won't help? Transportation said they were going to make more calls. I then texted a mom that was on the field trip and asked her what time the field trip bus returned to school. She replied they should be at MMS in about 20 mins! My panic turned to relief! I just got the return of the field trip mixed up! I then realized, the principal surely knew of the field trip. I arrived at MMS I saw my daughter.Shevsaid the principal was waiting at the bus doors and told her to come in the office and call your mother, and LAUGHED. I can not think of a word to describe such a person.
