Love the Administration, faculty, and staff! Everyone is committed to the academic success & discipline of the children. My child has been at MLK since K4, and is now in 6th grade. I''m hoping & praying they add high school grades.
I highly recommend MLK to any parent that wants their child(ren) in a nurturing, structured, and safe educational environment.
