GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

This was my first year attending Mendenhall High School, I mean the experience was an experience. I would say that this school does not prepare you to be an adult nor does it prepare you for the real world. I interacted with many people and made a few associates here. I'm not going to lie being here made me miss my old school and made me want to transfer back to my old school because I was there for many more years and I had friendships there.

There are very few teachers who prepare students well. There are many teachers who don't even teach at all. There are many leaks and holes in the felling and there is a HUGEE money issue. There's no heat on any of our buses so it will be freezing outside and we are on the bus for a hour. When we finally get to class my legs and feet are numb.

I am a senior at mendenhall high school and I would say that the best thing about the school is it's state testing scores and athletics. The bad thing about it how boring our school can be but I believe that we are turning over from that, and we can be a more lively school.
