    "My son attended MTA for 1st grade and half of 2nd grade. He learned a ton, but honestly was bored to tears with repetition. In addition, both of his classrooms had kids with serious behavior problems, i.e. kids running from teacher, hiding under desks, writing mean notes to the teacher. I think it is very important for parents to realize that MTA is not for every kid, but the administration does not communicate this message at all. MTA is a school of choice, it has NO services for special needs kids. I also found that the teachers received no support from the administration in dealing with very disruptive children. In addition, the drop off and pick up situation is a nightmare and many of the parents are very type A. See the review below that says if a parent chooses a different school with less homework, then their child will be stuck flipping burgers. I'm so glad we left this school!"

    "Many of the parents are the ones to say MTA is a bad school, but it isn't. MTA is a great school! I am a student and have been there since day one. I love the school and will be sad to leave next year. The ecpectations and amount of homework are the way they are for a reason! So if this is one of your concerns find a new school. Also many of the parents give the school bad reviews, because they do not attend the school and experience what great staff and what a great learning environment MTA is! I highly recommend MTA if you are looking for a school where your child will excel and have a good learning experience"

    "We had great experiences in the elementary grades but there are serious issues in the middle school grades this year, especially in math. The teacher doesn't review homework so she doesn't know if a kid (or a bunch of kids) are struggling until they fail the test. By that time, it's too late because they've gone on to other topics. Parents have tried to address the issues with both teacher and principal, but their concerns are brushed aside with the same "love it or leave it" message that is posted here by some parents. At the same time, the gifted kids aren't getting the challenge they need, either, and those concerns are ignored, too. MTA was created by parents who wanted to be involved in curriculum decisions, but it is veering off course from that original concept as parent concerns continue to be ignored. Bottom line: MTA caters to above average kids, leaving the struggling and gifted kids to fend for themselves."

    "Ditos with the Feb 4 review....For all of the belly aching about the time it takes to do homework and the lower grades kids are getting..Maybe your kid is not ready for this school...Kids are here to learn, and at a higher rate than an average public school...So do yourselves a favor...Leave and find a school where the homework does not interfere with your life...Then you can have a "happy child" that is content with just getting by...The world will always need hamburger flippers..."

    "MTA has done AMAZING things in its 5 years of existence. If you are not getting responses from a teacher or administrator, then you are not going about communicating the right way. 3rd Grade is a tough transitional jump of a year but it seems to smooth out quickly. But the previous poster is correct...it is not the right school for every kid & sometimes thats hard to accept when we thought we were making a great academic choice for our child. This site drives me nuts because people can say whatever they want about a very successful school to justify their complaints. My favorite is an early post from 2010 where it states that the "director" resigned. That did not happen. That very dedicated, smart & passionate "director" never intended on staying more than that first year. Her mission was to get it up & running & then search for a great candidate to take over. This school wouldnt even be a school if not for that "director". You may not like everyone but to go online anonymously & post untruths about someone is just plain cowardly! A lot of people researching schools look to this site for input. If you're going to post something (esp. negative) at least get your facts right!"
