The best part of mead would be my experience with the sports, all the programs create a nice little community within the program and make it feel like home. The worst part would maybe be some of the teachers, but I think that's more of a personal preference thing. Overall I think the school is a pretty good place to be with a good atmosphere all around.

Mead High School is a fantastic example of diversity and inclusion. They strive to make everyone as comfortable as possible and give them opportunities to connect with peers who have similar backgrounds or interests. They set high academic standards and accommodate people and their academic needs for them to excel. I would like to see more opportunities for students to explore college ideas and more time to talk in-depth with college representatives.

I like the school culture at Mead, especially in certain clubs and activities that I'm a part of. I've also had some very good teachers who have made my experience positive. On the negative side, sometimes it feels like administrators don't respect the students, and many students don't care about learning.

This school has poor leadership and no compassion at all. The school administration issues punishments to students without investigating an incident that took place.
