The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

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.

My experience in Memorial High School it was new to me I grew up in Mexico but was born in Houston, so he difference in cultures and how thin run are different it was difficult for me to overcome all of does including language, many latinos have to overcome this, and thats why I try to make people feel comfortable around me because I know how it feels to be isolated.

Memorial honestly wasn't a bad experience for me, but there were certain isolated events that caused some of my ratings to be so low. That being said, the education at Memorial is fairly decent, although some teachers lack in the patience required to teach teenagers. The same goes for the clubs, which are generally run by very responsible, organized students.

I know sarcasm is hard to distinguish on the internet, but I'm not being facetious. I'm glad you felt comfortable, but think for a moment...

The teachers are a mixed bag; some good, some meh, some horrible. Do not like the MHS nor the SBISD administration - tone deaf, self-important and non-communicative. My sophomore does not know what the p-pal looks like.College counseling is non-existent; they just give you a bunch of web sites to vi...
