"MSGA rocks! My son attends and absolutely loves the school, staff and especially Principal Hibbs. As parents coming from a local private school, we were concerned about curriculum, location and being a stand-alone 6th grade only school. The academics are as rigorous as any other school we previewed and in most cases more challenging, with teacher participation far better than the private school we came from. The MILE program is outstanding with constant updates from the teacher and my son feels more involved and motivated because he is given responsibility to be accountable for his own actions. I currently have two daughters at West Side Elementary and feel very confident when they get to MSGA it will be even better!"
