Martin Luther King Junior Magnet- Pearl High School Reviews

 
I am a parent of 2 high school students. My girls started MLK in 7th grade. I recommend this school because of their high quality caring, expectation, and for looking out for children individually. Thank-you to all the staff at MLK.

This one of the best if not the best school in the Metro Davidson School District. Well thought out plan to lead young men and young ladies to the next level of their education. My son is an all 'A' student there, thank you MLK

I graduated in 2005. This school is well known for quality, and it helped me get into great schools. The counselors care about the students so much that they are willing to do almost anything to get students into the schools they want. Extracurricular activites are encouraged and it has more sports provided than any other school in the system. The neighborhood is not great, but it is normally safe during school hours. I am very glad that I went here.

I graduated from MLK in 2003 and would have to say that this school prepared me to the highest extreme for college. The intense course work gave me the work ethic needed to becoming successful at my university. The schools makes it possible for students to take AP courses which allows them to then use these credits for college. The teachers help motivate an already vibrant student body, one that is filled with bright students yearning to being successful in life. This school also does a marvelous job in opening its sudents' minds to the world around them. The diversity found within the student body is an amazing feature. The school's diversity helps break down political boundaries that divide so many people in this world today. Instead, students are able to work more closely together with people of all different backgrounds.

My child attended MLK from 7 to 12, having just graduated. Without a doubt she received a superb education comparable to any private school in Nashville. My son went to one of the best private boys schools MBA and my dauthers education was by far better. She graduated with 8 AP courses -receiving college credit in four. I have watched her peers grow up to be remarkable young people thanks in part to a staff that truly cares about the kids and the kids know it. This is not a pretty school - lacking many of the fancy extra's that other schools may have, but what it may lack in some areas are more than made up for in superior teaching, coursework and level of pride each student has for the school and respect for each other.

This is the greatest school I have ever seen! The teachers are great and the resources are endless.
