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.

What I like the most about Mendota high school is that the teachers are always willing to give students extra help. What I would like to see change about high school is the amount of kids who think that it is ok to be mean people.

Mendota Highschool isn't good when it comes to having friendly students unless you're "popular." The main sport it cares about is football and neglects the others. Many teachers also aren't great when it comes to workload and actually teaching their subject. There are the select few that are good. The best part of Mendota Highschool is the music program.

Was very involved at MHS in both sports and other extra curricular. Teachers and administration cared about their students.
