Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on February 05, 2007
Rating: (4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
I am a parent of a student that attends MBMS of the year 2006/2007. I think the school is a great place for students to learn. The teachers meet satisfactory, and it is a good school. Although I believe there should be more school events such as more sport teams, dances, plays, etc. I do also think the price for lunch is somewhat overboard. Possibly lunch amounts could lower from 2.00 to 1.75. Believe it or not, it saves a lot. One more concern, I do want to know if it would be possible for there to be assigned seats during lunch. I think it is a better way for students to meet! I agree that MBMS is a fit school for students.
