Overall my experience at Mountain Crest High School has been very positive. I love coming to school it is a safe and fun learning environment. We have lots of sports and clubs that people can participate in, there is something for everyone to do. The worst part would just be the food its not very good and the produce is never fresh.

I feel like Mountain Crest is a great school over all but I would say if the admin were to be more serious or strict about the dress code students would feel more comfortable. I know that I have felt uncomfortable when girls walk into class with the short really close or showing their butts. But we have a great way of making sure that we are safe by making sure we get to class after using the bathroom and also to help with kids being out in the class to long.

The best part of my experience there were the teachers that I had. They were supportive but not afraid to give critical feedback that pushed me to be ready to attend college. The worst part of my experience would be the rivalry that developed between a neighboring school. This led to tense relationships with friends and unfortunate sporting events.

Great sports school, if you are a player of one of the more major sports you will do fine. All departments but sports are under funded or overlooked. There are a wide range of teachers from the nice to tyrannical. avoid taking classes from sport coaches if possible, if you like challenges.
