This is my sons first year in a Charter School and I have to say that Marion P Thomas is a great school. The teachers and staff are really helpful. They offer alot of programs to children who are in need of that extra help.

MPTCS. Wow where will I start? Dear parents, lways remember the grass is not greener on the other side. Please ask yourself many questions about what is more important about the school you want your child to attend because mptcs is not a good school at all for children with even a mild learning disability. The teachers are not sensitive to the childs needs, that pick and humiliate the childs' feelings. I know my child attends the school and we are not happy. Yes, I communicate with the school weekly and I help my son in all ways. Keep your child in public school they have more experience.

My son attended this school from K-8th grade.He graduated this past June and is now attending St. Benedict's Prep. He has been placed in Advanced Algebra due to his math skills which I thank Mrs. Harris for.I appreciate the staff and teachers for preparing my son for the next 4 years in High school. Great JOb...

My child has been in MPTCS for many years and I love the whole concept behind the charter schools. Yes they are different from public schools. I have had both positive and negative experiences. This is not the best school for a child with learning needs/difficulty. What I recommend to parents is the key is to ask questions and be involved, espeacially with the teachers. My most challenging experience has been with the special education needs of my child.
