Our son has been here since he was 16 months, he's now almost 3. He's potty trained (big thanks to…read morethem). He's well mannered. He cleans up after himself... and my wife & I truthfully didnt really teach him most of that stuff. Now we did encourage the same behaviors at home and we did listen to his teachers and communicated with them to be sure we were all on the same page, but it's mostly all been taught to him at this school. 5/5 highly recommend and would do it again

The school hosts lots of events to include families like Breakfast&books, PBS kickoff, and an annual talent show. Communication between teachers, parents, and students is solid.

Mom and I, along with my younger brother and sister lived on White Side Drive for a year while my dad was stationed in South Korea with the Army. My Grandfather and Great Grandmother lived a couple of houses down from us. There was an old barn down the street that the kids played in and a Brown Derby near the turnoff for White Side Drive.

Missouri State University sucks when it comes to help international students solve their problems…read more I have been an International Student here for so long and they have never helped me solving any situation. I tried to talk to many people in order to solve my situation but none helped me at all. I went to the presidents office and I was not able to talk to him because he does not take care of students unless you fill out a form online. So do not waste your time trying to go to his office to talk to him and neither to try to find a solution because the lady at front desk told me that he doesn't do that. Supposedly you have to talk to other people to find a solution to your problems but none does it and neither the president Clif. Whenever you call to the international department none is available to help you because they are either out of the office or because they only work from home, except for the front desk students that answer the phone but can not give you a solution for anything. They are all pointing fingers instead of helping you find a solution to your problems. Just let me mention that I have been having this problem going on for 2 semesters so I don't know why they are so negligent i don't know if I should call it an act of racism or discrimination. WORST UNIVERSITY I HAVE EVER BEEN AND SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE.

Absolutely horrible experience, staff don't know how to do their jobs properly, half the food could…read morestick to the ceiling for days, bathrooms look like someone peed on the walls, and the kids are ruthless. I got in a fight because I didn't someone to forcefully kiss me, I then got ISS for a day for defending myself! I got sick in ISS because of the breakfast they served me and they refused me access to the nurse, refused to call my parents, and the only reason why I got to go home was because the math teacher said I should get attention because I had thrown up TWICE. Also there was a threat to the school that someone was gonna shoot it up, and they tried to deny parents from taking their kids home. I'd recommend taking your kid to ANY OTHER SCHOOL, and it'd be better. I'm talking from 100% experience just avoid carver if possible.
