Mountain Island Charter school is great choice for children. It teaches about leadership and coming together as a community. I highly recommend this school. Please learn about charter schools and the choice they offer parents, students and teachers.

I can't afford this school!!! Field trips cost $400+, sports cost $95, afterschool programs cost close to $200 and my family is constantly being asked for money for the building fund. MICS acts more like a private school than a public school!

We are so happy to be a part of this wonderful school! The teachers, administration and board have done a wonderful job developing a curriculum that addresses the needs of all children. The passion that the teachers have for teaching and for the school has been evident, and has greatly affected our children's love of learning. The lessons and related field studies are creative, challenging and relative. The parents, teachers and administration have come together to form a group that can listen to each other, give ideas and feedback, and support each other. We are proud to be a part of such a wonderful community.

We are thrilled with MICS, the staff, administration, and board! We have found the leadership in all these areas to be a wonderful example to our students and to the community in which it supports. The leadership is open to hearing all ideas, and has shown strength in "thinking outside the box" and allowing new and creative ways to help our children learn and become great leaders themselves. The parent involvement is great as well and is a testimonial to how coming together as a village can support our schools so much!

I have two children at MICS. We have been very pleased with the quality education our children are receiving. The teachers are given the freedom to teach and add their personal touches which was not allowed when we attended public schools. The sense of community is very apparent throughout the organization. We strongly recommend MICS!

I hope to see MICS rise to a 5 star community rating and a level 10 rating from Great Schools, but for now, I must only rate the school as average due to a lack of partnership between parents and administration. The administration or board has not allowed for the establishment of a PTA even though a PTA is part of the school's charter. Parents want a voice but any efforts toward this end are being obstructed by the board and administration.
