Poor leadership! These kids just run wild out in the community. When my husband and I were out hiking in the GSMNP a huge group of them ruined our tranquil hike. Why don't these people follow the laws? It is illegal to have that many people in the park. They should be fined.

My kids hated this school! They are now thriving at the public school. The middle school seems to have no supervision or curriculum. Found the teachers to be aloof and demeaning.

My child has attended MDCS for 4 years. I am dismayed by the negative review. Our experience has been positive. We have enjoyed our interactions with all of the staff and our daughter is thriving.

Mountain Discovery Charter School was a horrible experience for me and my child. I pulled my children out mid semester.
