I am in 8th grade right now, and even though many people will say that this is a bad school, it really isn't that bad. Teachers find many different ways to teach if you don't understand the first time. It is an overall pretty good school and even though it may have a few things that aren't great, it is still a good school. I will miss my ELA teacher the most though. If you have to pick between MVMS and CMS, I would pick CMS. MVMS has been thought of to teach kids to be rude to eachother

I went to this school in 8th grade for not very long because i had to transfer, But what i will say about this school is if you are willing to learn then it is probably the best school you will ever go to! When i left i honestly started crying because i was going to miss it so much! and if i could pick any school i would pick this one. The students are good (as far as i could see but i was also kind of shy and never talked) and the teachers are sweet. If your a good student then this school is the school for you :c goodness i miss it so much 3 P.s. I also learned more in the little time i was there then i learned in any of my other schools for the whole year <3 its a good school i promise. I know a lot of people say its bad and even i thought it was going to be! but it loved it and i will miss it so much
