My experience with SCMS was an awesome one. My son was there for three years. The teachers are wonderful! They will contact you in case of anything. The counselor is awesome too. I could get in touch with anyone and at any time.

I love this school so much, the bugs are now minimal at the school, and although it's old, and the AC doesn't always work, the school itself has a great education, especially in TEAMS, the honors program, there you will really be pushed to your limit, and really become a smarter, better person there. The only advise I have is to AVOID THE LUNCHES THERE, most of the time I don't eat the meat, because it is nasty, and can be over, or sometimes under cooked, I will say that the french toast sticks are good though

Our experience was a breath of fresh air. The school administration staff was very impressive with any of our needs. The boys had great teachers, with impressive communication.

My child is my priority. The fact that he doesnt want to enroll in a private school, because it is much closer to where we live, is an attestation to his feeling and sense of belonging. His teachers are hands down, one of the best teachers you could find. I would rate this school a five stars *****
