My experience at Millikan High School has been very good these last four years. I have made so many friends at this school and learned many things. Millikan High School has prepared me for college and the future. Millikan has a good school spirit and good student engagement. One of the best parts is the dances and the school field trips.

My overall experience with Millikan High School has been wonderful. There has been an increase in school spirit and student activities since I first started high school in 2021. The classes I take are rigorous and I know I have been set up for success.

I believe the school has alot to offer. There are many resources and pathways that set you up for success. The only thing I would change is the way teachers have started to shift their teaching styles. A lot of teachers now expect us to do the learning on our own time and simply show up to be tested which I think ruins the benefits of having a teacher.

I was severely bullied and hated every second I spent at this school. SLCs make bullying and social division worse, and QUEST teachers put so much pressure on students, I honestly don't know how anyone gets through it.
