Mitchell High School is a great place. We got a new performing arts center 6 years ago and then a football field and track shortly after that. We are now building a new school. The teachers are nice for the most part and while our sports teams aren't always the best they're still fun to be in and watch. Our music program is amazing and we have a nationally ranked show choir. Our bathrooms, mainly the boys, are often closed though due to vandalism.

The teachers at the Mitchell High School are extremely invested in their students education. The high school has so many advanced and career-based classes that allow students to prepare for an immediate job, tech-school, and university.

I really enjoyed going to school here. The best part about going to school here is the size. Classes are not too big and not too small which makes learning more inclusive. The student to teacher ratio was a very good balance that made learning not super overwhelming.

This school is by far the best in teacher quality but if you were to ask about the principals and curriculum. those are completely different stories, the principals are complete jerks and will not listen to your side of the story, they also do not become involved in the good side of the student body...

I loved it there. The teachers were great. And councilors worked very hard to make sure every student was prepared for the next step.
