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.

The best about Mexico High School is the sports as many students go and support about every sport that it has even got to support incoming freshmen's activities the worst thing about Mexico High School would be the chair in some classes as they are very uncomfortable and give a back pain if sitting in them for too long.

I was a freshman there and I was only there for a few weeks and then I went to a different school, but I'll tell you what I experienced in those few weeks. First of all, when I got there, I had to carry around a map of the school because that school is like a maze, but you'll get used to it. For my business class, we practiced handshakes with other people in the class, and thankfully they had hand sanitizer and gloves in case you want to keep your hands clean. I was in that class with a whole mix of all the graduating classes. There were Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and I was one of the only Freshmen. I've been taking business classes since 6th or 7th grade and this was the only one where they said they would bring in real business professionals for the test. But I don't know if they were telling the truth because I was at a different school by then. With the business people, they practiced interviews which would've been useful right now. The classes are good but maybe not other thing

My time at Mexico High School has been a wild ride. there were a lot of people there that actually cares about seeing you move up in the world after high school. But like most high schools you have those kids that are causing a scene and in my four years the kids just got worse and I would like to see something change all the trouble kids.

I attended Mexico High School for two years. The reason I give it only two stars is because there were bullying issues that were not taken care of. The staff is hard to keep and I had brand new, fresh out of college teachers both years which caused me to struggle because of the lack of classroom dis...
