Mason is an incredible school. My daughter loves learning and she feels that she’s being challenged every single day. The teachers are smart, engaged, with a lot of passion to teach, and always happy. We have been to a couple of schools and this is where my daughter strives and enjoys learning, she doesn’t want to go anywhere else. We love it, but most importantly, she does! Close Quote

Once was a great school now has turned into a war prison. They knit pick every little thing. They herass students about their uniforms. My son put his backpack on after getting out of the car and it pushed up his coller by accident and was given a demerit .
He is being targeted by teachers because of misbehaving and teachers look for reasons to give him a demerit.
Enough is enough! Close Quote

This school is in its third year. Over 800 students now attend this school K-11. Wonderful education - it's the kind of education you assume is taking place in other schools. Students enjoy learning! Charter school = tuition free. The prior 2 years, the school has been "A-Rated" by the FSA scores. That said, this school does not teach to those tests. "they will take care of themselves". Quality education. Close Quote
