The current administration, as well as the teacher have more than proven their inability to control or oversee what happens in their classrooms. My child was physically assaulted and when I tried to speak with the principle about it, she was dismissive and could not tell me a thing about what happened. The verbal abuse has been daily for almost 2 months and nothing has come out of that as well. If you're ok with your child being called a "white a$$ good for nothing cracker" and being spit on and come home and cry then by all means please send your children here they will love it. The administration doesn't care!

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at MMES. The principal, Lola Williams, is extremely negative as are some of the teachers. I have witnessed teachers yelling at students, parents yelling at teachers, and a complete lack of respect. It is not an environment where students or staff feel welcome, safe, or respected. I was completely disgusted by what I saw, so much that I was physically ill because of it. My heart goes out to the staff that is under-appreciated and the students that have to endure the daily disrespect and lack of love. I would rather homeschool my child than send them to MMES. They need to get rid of the negative people on the staff in order for this school to succeed, that includes quite a few teachers, the principal and the computer teacher who never taught any of the children anything useful when she decided to actually show up to teach computer skills. When a teacher knowingly bullies students and nothing is done about it, you know the school is beyond help. I could go on, but only so many characters are allowed. You've been warned.
