The school has a fairly large history which dates back to around 60 years ago. However, with that time comes great things coming and going and I believe that this school needs improvement in the math department and also the facilities such as bathrooms provided to students as it is very restricted.

The experience has been pretty normal. As a senior, I would like to see more college prep and help because we have the resources and staff that offer help yet I still think it's confusing.

Less than 1 star. Teachers are incompetent. Administration is even worseDo not send your kid to this school. Apply for choice schools and maybe you can win the lottery that’s the only way you can get in a good school in Brevard County!

My two sons attended MI High. Both were admitted to UCF on their first attempt. Both graduated UCF with science majors and both are officers in the United States military.

My daughter started 9th grade this year and she absolutely LOVES this school. We moved down here from New Hampshire. MI High School made the move so easy for my daughter. She has met such a nice group of friends with great southern hospitality and she is excelling in school. I can't say enough good...
