I had this horrible teacher freshman year, she went too fast, and she was so strange and very very mean, still, no one likes her and I've heard nothing but bad things, even a vice principal told my mother she was bad. But there are lots of amazing teachers, my mother's teacher now is so kind and I've learned so much. The school is very military friendly except for my English teacher, I joined the Army National Guard as a junior and went to basic training the summer between junior and senior year, and my English teacher when I got back a few weeks late was very mean and did not give me time to catch up when all my other teachers did.

My high school experience has been good but not great. Most of the teachers and staff are mostly helpful and supportive but others are not helpful and create a poor environment. The facilities are clean and functional for the most part.

At Muscatine there is only one high school and that is Muscatine High School the Home of the Muskies. The school has many activity's that you can participate in and are very accommodating. They also have plenty of resources to teach children and have students learn so they can become better people for society

The principal of Muscatine High School is a joke. They have on numerous occasions hired friends and family that are less qualified for positions over experienced and higher qualified teacher with a great track record from other schools. In this school district which is terrible, I would think that t...

Parts of the science department at the high school are atrocious. Honors classes with the purpose of preparing students for AP classes have been cut. Instead, the school strives for skewed growth with the number of AP classes it provides. While this increases the difficulty of classes at MHS, by no...

I graduated from Muscatine High School with a high cumulative GPA. I took many classes at Muscatine Community College through the guidance of counselor Karey Hawkins, she is wonderful. I can not express how much I wish my parents would have put me in a better school district. The experiences I had w...
