Milwaukee Academy of Science - (MAS)

My HS counselor is ALWAYS talking about college since I was in the 8th grade!!! She s cool and we have already visited 2 college s and that was fun. I don t know what some of these parents are talking about but you should check it out for yourself or visit my facebook page. I LOVE MAS!!!!

I was not to sure about the school last year until i met with the a coordinator who explained everything i should expect. She was very patient and helpful when i registered my 6 yr old boy. After our 1st year i would say i am more impressed than i expected to be. My sons teacher and assistant are so kind with him. They made him feel very special and thats all i care about. I am very happy i moved him there.

I have two kids who are going into their 3rd year and I am very happy with the school. I have to say that my kids teachers made all the difference in the world and although the focus is on science and math, my son really liked his art class the most. I would highly recommend this school to any parent!

I have 3 children there and all of their teachers are caring. They go out of their way to improve their reading levels

my son is in k5 I regret i sent him to this school. the teacher spend more time getting kids in control than teaching. The teacher don't have the right education to teach.. when a problem occur don't expect much from it, they seem to care less about the kids well being, They are so frustrated with the kids there, when you come to them about a problem you just another complaint waiting to be unsolved. If you want your child to advance and be around a good environment don't send your child here.

Yes. This school has very high expectations. If you don't send your child to school every day or if you don't follow through with home expectations, your child will not do well and the administration will be on you every day 24/7. This is a very unique school and parents have to be involved in order to appreciate everything that goes on. If you are one that is sitting back complaining and yet you don't volunteer at least once a week, you really have no place to talk. Kids cussing out bus drivers isn't a teacher problem. It's a parent problem.

I'm a parent of MAS, I have to say it did NOT reach my expectations. The students are disrespectful to the teacher's, there are constant disruptions in my child's classroom, how can any teaching be going . The teacher's have very low expectations of the students. The bussing situation is a joke, they can't get the students to sit down. Let alone stop them from cursing out the bus driver and/or stop them from fighting. This is a very toxic environment, and I would not recommend sending your kids there.

This school is a great school and I know because I experienced it first-hand. I attended this school for 5 years [3-8] and the only reason I left was because my family moved. There is nothing wrong with this school; the teachers there strive for excellence daily and print it deep in the students' heads while being gentle but strict...
