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.

The best thing about MHS is the opportunities we have with the Clinton Community College center being only a two minute walk away. The majority of seniors this year (including me) have most, if not all, of their general eds done.

The town gets a bad reputation, but the schools are actually good. There are many programs that your child can be involved in. They say that there is a bullying problem, but there has not been that much evidence. There are many opportunities including taking college courses. The only bad thing that I have to say about the school is that sports trumps the arts.

Letting my children attend this school was the biggest mistake that I have made in my life, and this is saying something, as I have made quite a few mistakes.
