We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Mercer County High School is well organized and has a great arts and music program. There are lots of different activities that anyone can participate in. The only problem might be how few teachers there are in the school district.

I like this school only for the friends i have made in it. Otherwise, I feel as though I have been deprived of a good education. Maybe a larger school would have given me better opportunities to develop. Some teachers do not prove to be a reliable source regardless of the subject.
