Micds in Maryland Heights, Missouri

“My son is new to the Middle School in 5th grade this year. He came from a school where he was not academically challenged! My son is getting more than I ever imagined! He loves the school, the teachers, the atmosphere! Teacher communication is the best! I get quick comments for great test scores! It is fantastic!! The cost is a struggle for our family but it is worth every penny! I am a little concerned about the social aspect. However, I am sure that will come later.”

“I think this school is incredible! I wish I could have gone there. They have amazing facilities and the faculty is unbelievable! They take an interest in every student. The arts and science programs are second to none!”

“The academics are great - but when you apply, they tell you what you want to hear, whether or not it is true. I was told I would be able to work with teachers to help me manage school and swimming. But when I attended, I was not given any help at all. I was essentially told I needed to pick one or the other. So just be careful.”

“This school is sooooo good. I currently go here and I have made so many new friends. It focuses on social as well as academic skills. It is so fun and the teachers are great. If you are considering going here, I highly recommend it!”

“If you are willing to put forth the effort required and have some drive, you will do well at MICDS. We have found the teachers to be very dedicated and willing to help those students who are interested in their education. Yes, it is expensive, but if your student is interested in the best education and being prepared for the college experience, you will find no better school in the area.”

“I HATE this school! i went there for a year and had a horrible expierence. The teachers were never willing to HELP students and were not even educated as well or as nice as nearby public schools like lADUE. iT'S a waste of your money!!!”

“This school is amazing, i currently attend MICDS and I am now noticing how much they compare us for college. The social life in the middle school is hard, but in the upper school everything gets better and is more relaxed. The Upper School is a great diverse environment. I am a mixed student, and I am glad that I don't face discrimination.”

“The school that the Admissions office sold us sounded fantastic. The school we attend in reality is not so great. There is a definite divide between the 'have-lots' and the rest of the students. Promises that were made were not kept, and teacher/parent communication is horrible. The facilities are world class, but the faculty is just as good as at our last school. I just think for the price you pay, there should be something more.”
