The best part of my experience at MATES was all the lifelong friends I made. I also enjoyed getting research experience and feel very well-prepared at college now. However, the teachers at MATES could be degrading at times and a little harsh. I would like to see that culture change and for students to enjoy their time there more.

MATES is a great school to learn about what you truly enjoy to learn about through various courses and personal experiences. You are definitely challenged throughout your high school career, but the shared experiences and friendships you acquire make the challenge all the more worth it.

I am a big fan of the dual enrollment classes, I will have earned around 30 college credits by graduation, which will save me a lot of cash in college if they transfer. The res...

Worst discrimination practices I've ever seen in a school. Admissions is a far cry from reality.
