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.

People at Mexico High School form more of a community than many other schools do. There is a lot of support from the administration for extracurriculars, and the people are very accepting of others despite the rural stereotypes many would place on the area. For Mexico, there is a lot of room for improvement in regards to the school's focus on academic success and college readiments.
