Mmi Preparatory School

I have been very happy with my children attending MMI. The Administration and Faculty are terrific. I feel as though my child is thoroughly prepared for college as his older siblings have been when they graduated from MMI. Kudos to all, I wouldn't hesitate to send my child there at all. They have also been very generous with scholarships that have helped our family greatly

I hae two children in MMI, and it has been a wonderful experience. The kids are definitely first here, and any help they need can always be found. We are not a well to do family, so I do not understand the comments that you can 'buy' your grades. The work is definitely challenging, but it's nothing that a child could not accomplish if they have good study and time management skills. The administration knows every child, and the teachers go out of their way to help. I'm very happy with MMI and would choose it again.

As of parent of two children attending MMI, I can honestly say that the school has certainly helped promote self confidence and maturity. The assemblies have given them the confidence to be more proficient in public speaking and I feel that the students respond very well when given the independence/respect that the school offers. Yes, at times there have been cliques, but the administration is involved and does not condone bullying. The thing I like best is that the President and Vice President take the time to get to know each student on an individual basis. The study skills that they have been taught through the years, will undoubtedly help them through college. Working for an "A" is at times difficult, but grades need to be earned and the students feel genuinely accomplished when they rise to the challenge. The areas that I feel are lacking are the etiquette class once offered in 6th and 11th grades and field trips for each grade to better reinforce material that is learned in the classroom.

This is the best school I have gone to so far in my academic career. This school has given me many challenges, but with the teachers wonderful support I easily got straight A's at MMI. I loved the projects we would do that helped us understand what we had been studying.

As a former student and graduate, I must comment on the terrific education I received from MMI. My family was not rich by any means, so the rumors of "buying" grades are false...I was a top grad and obtained a lot of financial aid so I could stay enrolled there. It paid off and I breezed through college. This was due to terrific teachers who cared about you individually. That was several years ago. Upon returning to visit, I learned that some of those teachers have either retired or left on their own terms, and their replacements, from what I've heard, simply don't measure up. Also, the higher-ups were not very personable to me and I have a feeling the school's identity is being compromised by those who want to make change for the sake of making change. This was a 5-star school when I attended. Now? I'm not so sure...

Challenging, Caring , with great kids and staff. My child would easily get staright A's with little effort at the public school. 2009 was his first year at MMI, Yes he wrote many papers, is learning to speak in Public and is learning so much! Perhaps the previous reviews are from people who had personality issues with staff, or maybe their kids didn't try hard or ask for help. It is a awesome school, with very challenging academics, adn aims to treat the teens like an emerging adult with increased expectations until proven otherwise.

I am a graduate and I have to honestly have to say that MMI has ruined my college career. I was onf the top of my class and good grades at 75 and above. If you get a C you were happy. It did not help me by going fast in my studies i.e. sixth graders work on an 8th grade level they went so fast allot of parents complained and the school did not renew the teachers contracts. All I got out of it was public speaking and how to write papers. It is a very small school and we wasted money on nothing. The kids are VERY hard to deal with and make up 70% of you school day. The principal and vice principal are clueless about bulling and make it seem like it s not happening but they are wrong. I am very sorry and regret attending MMI.

I can't believe how terrible this school is?! It is so expensive. You seriously buy all your grades. They go so fast and you never learn. They kids are soo stuck up and if you have a problem the first kid who runs and tattles is the one Dr. Fowler, principal, believes first (the bullie). This is a terrible school to sent you child to. Save the money for college because its not worth it for this school. Honestly. If both 6th grade teachers get fired from parents complaining then what would think. Bad accidemics, bad principal, bad kids, bad everything.

I do not understand how these kids are advancing to the next grade when they flunk math or science - take summer school then advance to the next year. When I was in high school 20 years ago, if you did not perform well here you were kicked out. Now, they "try" to tutor your child, but grades still stay the same, i.e. flunking, you just go to summer school. My child was a honor student all throughout life, and then went here. The worst change ever. Now my child's scores are on permanent transcripts for college. We changed to AP courses at the high school and doing well. God I pity the kids who stay there and try to get into a good college/university with the grades at MMI. I don't know how this school is even in operation by doing this.

This school is all about the money. Kids are stuck up and form clicks. They lead false advertising. Your buy your grades here. It's all about the money and the power of who knows your mommy or daddy
