THE NURSE STAFF NEEDS TO IMPROVE!! KRISTY Craig and her…read moreassistant ARE SO UNPROFESSIONAL Always MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT Students PARENTS. Saying comments like "like mother, like daughter" "parents needs to learn a hard lesson" and making parents feel bad for not being able to pick up their child on time.. they denied permission for my eldest daughter to pick up my youngest. Kristy and her assistant then continued to talk bad about the parent TO THE STUDENT leaving the student feeling Very uncomfortable and upset. Kristy and her assistant kept laughing about the situation and continued to make jokes with the student present. The student no longer feels comfortable or safe to talk to the nurses when needed. Please help them improve on their behavior and attitudes. Or get new sympathetic nurses who actually care for the students and parents. THANK YOU

BUT if you are coming here for football and you don't fit the vision of the coaches then look at other schools. There is a reason why they are #1 in the nation.

So putting football aside, it's a great school.

Our family has been blessed to be a part of MCS for 10 years. It's a beautiful thing to know that my children can be at a school where there is a firm foundation in Christ and that our school is unwavering in our commitment to Christian education and academic excellence. The administration, staff and teachers have had such a strong impact in molding my childrens' academic and spiritual formation. I know the years spent here will forever be cherished and valued in their hearts and mine.

The school perhaps is "toxic" and I personally would not reccomend it to anyone.

CdM is a great school with great amenities, courses, clubs, teachers, and amazing students. I have…read morebeen here since 7th grade for 3 years and the school has far exceeded my expectations, and I enjoy every day I'm here. There are some bad things about it, but it's overall a decent school. The problems have become much less significant over time, and are over-exaggerated and drummed up by the media to grab people's attention and get more views, but these stereotypes hold little actual ground. It's impulsive for us to just slap a label on a place or group of people, but it isn't as simple as black and white. It's important to recognize that stereotypes are often exploited by people who've had no experience in a place to just assume everyone's a certain way, without trying to understand and empathize. At CdM, there is little prejudice and is usually subtle and unintended. The academic environment can be stressful, but you have the choice of taking more advanced classes. If parents are forcing their kids to get really good grades and take challenging courses, that's a parental issue. If a teacher is unhelpful, others are always willing to help. Many of the negative reviews stem from misunderstanding, as parents are prone to just taking their kid's word when they have a complaint rather than assessing the full situation, and this lack of understanding leads to further escalation of the situations. For a new student, there will always be potential friends. Many kids at CdM were negatively influenced, but that's because they didn't choose good friends. While there are many entitled and troublesome kids, the overwhelming majority are kind, humble, and respectful; it's just about avoiding the minority of bad students. For most of my time at CdM, I was shy and never had much of a friend group; yet other kids have always made to effort to be kind to me when they could have stayed comfortable with their own friends. Most students have been quick to forgive me and move on after I changed for the better even if I had done something bad in the past. Most kids won't peer pressure you if you say no to something. Your school experience is what you make it and how you perceive things, and you can make good choices. The problem is that a lot of people get dissatisfied even because of minor things. THIS is the entitlement in CdM people complain about: the ones who can't take any shit and who have no gratitude. It's the ones who care about CdM and try to make it a better place that love CdM because the other students respect and appreciate them. If you come into CdM with an open mind, a kind personality, and a drive to succeed and make friends, the rest will already be taken care of. You know the negative reviews are due to entitlement because it's always the parents that are doing the dirty work for their kids when as students, they should take control of their academic experience. It doesn't make you look good as a parent to be the one bailing out your kid by contacting a teacher. It's the inconsiderate students that want to leave CdM. These people are troublemakers. They are surrounded by their ego and have no idea that they're pissing everyone off, and their parents who only see one side of the story assume that CdM is a horrible school after hearing their kid nonstop complain and they move their kid to another school to cause more trouble. I was once one of these obnoxious kids, but I recognized that my actions were unappreciated by others and have changed since then. Kids who I once annoyed now respect me, a testament to the forgiveness of CdM students. The school has issues with parent cliques, and the administration does have some issues with inefficiency and management, just like any other school, but as a student, the most important thing is to be able to go to school every day and just be yourself and to be surrounded by respectful students and teachers, not whether the school decides how often the bathrooms are cleaned. Your main interactions with the administration will be regarding attendance or course changes, which it's really efficient at. Why wouldn't you give CdM a chance? In the small chance you don't like it, there's little risk in transferring. People move from CdM to other local private schools or vice versa all the time, and they can still keep their friends because they live in the same area; but if you do like it, you'll save a ton on tuition, and that money can be better used on other things to further develop your child's interest and to ensure future success, or even just for enjoyment. I kept this review brief to address the general issues. If you want to know something more specific about CdM, you can email me at wynneyoung555@yahoo.com or text me at (949)375-0086, but don't call me because I don't take calls from unknown numbers.Here's why many of the points made in other reviews are wrong: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DxEqbhM7_oP2kjPJT8EhDTro5y5afy0m9LM7c4KwO-4/edit?usp=sharing

They over use different platforms to the point it's confusing, "sign in here, now go here, now go to this program for a minute just to sign over to this one and then open two more....." There instructional videos are glitchy and laggy and don't play right at all. They force the parents to taking an orientation quiz to pass, the quiz itsef is discfuctional not allowing any correct answers. Again making us waste hours trying to get it right, when the problem is THEM. I was hoping my daughter would get some social interactions with the other kids on the computer, but they mute every body and even during the little dance sessions they have for kindergarteners they pause the camera feed so my daughter feels like shes the only one participating, and it's super sad. I have nothing nice to say about this school and program. we submitted a withdraw from the school before 10 days. countless problems to many to list here

So from an outsiders view this school gets 5 stars all the way.

Honestly as a former student, if you make friends and do your work it's fun an easy. The only bad…read morething is the staff. They don't care about bullying, think everyone is suicidal or depressed, and I can't stress this enough, but they look for any excuse to take away and look through your cell phone. Like you get in trouble and even for non cell phone related things, phone check, if you complain your being bullied, phone check, they see your phone out at lunch, oh well we are gonna try and unlock it while it's sitting in the office. In regards to bullying, if you were to walk into the office and report that you have been bullied, they would avoid doing anything about it, somehow ask for your phone, then get mad at you about something small. Like the cartoon character on your Lock Screen is inappropriate, we are calling your parents. Overall not bad. Just the staff is sometimes untrustworthy. Oh and also they accuse you of things all the time. They will call your parents into the office just to tell them that they think you did a bad thing or whatever. Also the school fails state evaluations constantly. Keep that in mind.
