[edit] Enrollment

In the last 10 years, the school's enrollment has ballooned due to an increasing population shift away from the the city of Mobile to its western suburbs. In 1998, the school's enrollment was 1,452. Today that number has grown to almost 1,800.^{[citation needed]}

MGM draws its students primarily from Semmes Middle School, a nearby state-of-the-art facility, which is one of the largest middle schools in the state of Alabama.
The school serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of ~1,800 students and a faculty of 100.
