GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

It was a great school with many opportunities. I pursued sports and clubs during the time I was a student and had an amazing time doing so. They have the best teachers and staff around. They have an abundance of classes to choose from for any career path you might want to take. Overall an amazing school.

Mitchell High School is an incredible school with great faculty. I love how they want the best for you and your future. One thing I would like to change is involving the seniors more. Some examples would be homecoming and prom. Overall, it's a great school with amazing memories that I will cherish forever.
