My experience was very positive but I felt like the teachers cared too much about the students and not about being hard and pushing us to have a better understanding of certain topics. I feel that I i missed out on a lot of learning I needed.

It's an overall good school, I wish there was more activities other than sports, and maybe better food.

If my child knows and can smell it on other students you would think that the teachers would do the same. That in fact is not the case. Drug test at random,...

MHS is plagued by good teachers and bad teachers. The Math program is especially abhorred: the student has to almost help them self along as this math program teaches by the students own ability to find answers through trial and error it seems. Other than math, the English Department has it down, re...
