Dont let the name fool you. The word military in the name does not mean that they take children with discipline problems and fix them. This is a regular public school with a school wide Army ROTC program for Junior High - High school students. It is a K-12 school as of the 2011-2012 school year. However I wouldn't reccomend this school if you have elementary students, because they can see and hear the teenage students doing inappropriate things in the halls or bus. Also, there are a lot of children in the school who are a discipline problem and disrupt the learning environment. The uniforms may only be purchased at Educational Outfitters which are outrageously priced. Some teachers care and work hard for their students. However there is no religious tolerance at the school either, expect no consideration for religious attire.
My daughter has been attending this school for 2 years and now both my young boys will be attending this up comming year. The teachers have great communication with the parents and the Principal/ Assistant is always available for any questions at any time. The school/programs definitely keep the students in line. We feel that MGLA offers challenging academic programs and has strong principal/school leadership!
Change The Time Back To What It Was Last Year. The School Needs To Start Early Like It Did Last Year.
I moved my two middle school students from a private school to Military and Global in January, and I could not be more impressed. The school itself is beautiful, and the atmosphere is positive, upbeat and organized. Our first exposure was with the guidence counselor who was professional, and answered our questions and followed up to place our children where they needed to be, not just where their grade level dictated or there was space available. Even while begining mid year the children were welcomed by both staff and students, and aclimated very quickly. The teachers have been fantastic, the children are excited about going to school and learning. This school really does have an open door policy when it comes to parent inquiries as to curriculum, student progress and problem solving. I whole heartedly disagree with the review saying that it is a haven for kids with discipline problems.
Although the school's concept is that of a public military college prep, it has become a haven for kids with discipline problems.
I feel this school has taught my son alot since he has attended this school. I like the way the staff and teachers stay on the kids about uniforms, grades and how the teachers communicates with the parents by e-mail.
