Memphis School of Excellence Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 51 reviews
The teachers working there are great! The admins are ok at best. There are not many classes offered, so many students like myself, are behind on learning when we graduate. Not to mention, they force you to apply to college in order to keep their record as 100% college acceptance. Would not recommend.
I have attended MSE since 6th grade. The teachers and administrators are very qualified and are certified in varies areas of studies. The classes are small, which it makes it much easier to have that one-one-time with your teacher. The teachers WANT the student to learn! I’m so happy and Blessed that my parents made the right choice with MSE! The Best of the BEST!
I’ve attended Memphis school of Excellence from 6-12, and everything I wanted to see change, did! In the near future I hope to see the school expand more to be able to offer more opportunities to the students such as football, debate teams, and even editing classes.
