My experience at Mira Monte is good, stuff members try to push students to be the best they can be, sometimes teachers and staff won't listen or do their job but there's more teachers and staff that will listen and do their job, and that has made my experience here good.

My experience in Mira Monte has been great these past couple years. One of the best experience I had in this school were being in clubs, there's many clubs to join and every club that I have been in were all my favorites. It cool on how much people you get to know or become friends with just for being in the same club. My overall experience being in Mira Monte has been really good.
