MGS is a great school and an example of why small class sizes are without equal. The teacher to student ratio is similar to a private school setting affording each student the needed time to obtain the best education possible. The close tie with and support from the community shows the kids that they are believed in and entrusted with the future. You won't find a more dedicated public school community.
