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.

I have been going to Mission heights preparatory high school for 3 years going on 4 I will soon be a senior next year and with all of my 3 years at mission I can say it is an amazing school all through Academics through sports and music as well as the arts we have very talented students at mission and every teacher pushes us to do our best and be the best we can be. Though we are a small school and that might be a downfall to some to us it makes us closer like a family. Everyone at mission is very respectful, diligent , caring and loving with everything they do . Mission is the place to go if you like a close community where everyone knows everyone. Even though mission does well in academics as well as college readiness we also do very well in sports and the arts. Mission may be small but we have plenty to offer like clubs such as DND, Esports, book club, Tpusa , drama and more. We hope you choose our school. Thank you !

Mission Heights was exactly what we were looking for. Our son previously attended a public HS in Casa Grande where he learned nothing and was not challenged. MHP is a COLLEGE PREP HS so it should be expected that students will receive homework. Our son's is the right amount and is never "busy work"....
