"My child attended this school for 4 years. My son scored 720 Verbal SAT and 680 Math, was always in the top 10% for math/reading/science. Unfortunately Honors teachers lose papers, submit grades after losing papers, respond to emails with 'I haven't graded it yet'. If your child is bright, and wants good grades DO NOT GO HERE...Mulitple episodes of lost paperwork ranging from the Project dreams, to submitted work where my son had copies that it was submitted via email. The school tells you to use the website to check each individual class for your childs work, and it is NOT updated, so you will email a teacher who will tell you they haven't submitted or graded it until its too late. THIS has happened multiple times different teachers and different grades."

"I definitely learned a lot over my four years at MASH. Not only were there countless opportunities to get involved in sports or extra-curricular activities, but the dynamics of a good public school undoubtedly shaped the person I am today. The teachers are kind, helpful, and fully devoted to teaching. If you need ANYTHING, there is always a teacher or staff member that is more than willing to help you. Whether you're excelling or falling behind, there is some kind of program for you. AP classes have helped me get ahead in college so much that I have the potential to graduate in three years. I learned invaluable study tips and life lessons that I still practice today. Aside from high school pettiness, there really isn't anything wrong with this school. And yes, the dreaded Project Dreams is arduous and seems to be pointless, but after it's all said and done, you realize that you're happy that your school made you do job shadows. It certainly helped me figure out what I want - and more importantly didn't want - to do with my life."

"I have two children in the district, a junior and a 4th grader. Both started in Northside Elementary and I'd like to extend some kudos for the falculty and administration there. Regarding the High School, over the years I've marveled at the quality of the teaching staff and their involvement with the students. Equally, I've been quite impressed with the level of support that the school gives both the students and parents. Whether it's a sporting event, a career day event or simply meeting the faculty & staff at various academic events I've found everyone to be encouraging, respectful, positive, and willing to hear my concerns and ready to offer student praise when earned. One thing more, I've recently had opportunity to meet the guidance counselors and the school nurse - they were extremely helpful, professional, caring and supportive - praises to all."
