Marissa & Rebecca – MCS Parents
We chose Midtown Community School because of its core values. As a non-traditional family, diversity is extremely important when choosing a school. What has made us feel most at home, is the sense of community that we feel each and every day that we step foot into the building. Both us and our daughter feel a sense of pride in calling Midtown Communtiy School “home away from home” for our kindergartner. Although we are new parents to MCS, it has felt effortless to get involved and comfortable with the staff and other parents. We are looking forward to many years to come at Midtown Community School and would easily recommend it to any parent looking for a charter school in the area.
