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.

My experience at Mishawaka so far has been incredibly positive. Many other student's say that they dislike it, but most of the time they are the kids that hate all school anyways. The teachers I have had have remembered my name and seriously care about what they teach. All of the teachers I've had have pushed to to be who I am today.

I have had a great time at this school. I had amazing teachers who helped me along the way. I also had amazing coaches within basketball and track and field.

My experience at mishawaka high school is all over the place. The best parts about this school isn't just being around my friends it's also learning and getting along with the teachers here. Once you get along with the teachers and the staff you will truly understand why mishawaka is a good school. The worst parts about my experience here is the lack of help these students get, some students need sit down help and they cannot get that. And here at mishawaka high school students get into a lot of physical trouble.

I have 2 children that go to Mishawaka High school and I'm not impressed at all. They clearly do not know how to follow an IEP. The sports are a bunch of politics. Why would you have tryouts for cheerleading if you are just going to pick the same people year after year? Same with the football team....
