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 best experiences with Mt. Ararat High School has been the ability to reach out for help when it's needed. I have been able to apply for college and for scholarships all throughout the help of staff and teachers. My worse experiences with Mt. Ararat has been the fluctuating care between teachers and staff. Some staff will enforce rules while other staff will not, and some teachers are more lax while other teachers are more strict. The only change I'd like to see is if rules were enforced more.

The teachers at my school have been there for me not only academically, but also personally. They have taken the time to listen to my concerns, offer guidance, and provide support when I needed it. Whether it's helping me navigate through challenging situations or simply being a friendly ear to talk to, they have shown genuine care and interest in my well-being. Their support has made me feel valued and encouraged me to reach my full potential.

A great school full of great people. But sometimes, it felt like teachers did not care about students' mental health, especially kids who have a drive to work hard. However, despite these things, MTA has great faculty that work hard to make it a better place.
