Throughout my experience with Mitchell High School it has been a roller coaster. There have been a lot of ups and downs, but I enjoyed it. I appreciate what I have learned academically, the opportunities handed to me, and the support system I have had as I went through the years.

The school is not that bad and pretty welcoming to new students. The teachers are helpful and flexible with the work they give.

Full of undisciplined deliquent teenagers with extremely poor sportsmanship. From cases of gun violence to gang issues throughout. Staff seems unable to control their students violent outbursts and antics. A beautifully built school but lacking in a healthy balance of safety and educational curriculum or ability to be a SAFE environment to enroll teenagers.

we were very satisfied with Mitchell for a long time. however this year, they let their college prep staff go in the middle of prep season. They replaced her with someone who has little understanding of all of the requirements and rules for applying to various colleges which has made it a struggle....
