My best part of being a student at Mount pleasant high schools is my counselor I really appreciate how she provided me her help about everything I want to get into as college, jobs ect... Also my worst part is the students. I don't like how most of them acting in the hallway when they passed by my classes especially after the A lunch. In Addition, I would to change the food menu for the lunch because is kinda bad, there are 2% up to 5% who don't eat because they don't like the lunch food.

This school is just like any other school in the sense that it has kids that want to be there and kids who don't. What makes this school a little different is that there are teachers and administrators that care and will go out there way to make sure your feeling welcomed and that you stay on track.

This is the second year for my daughter at this school and she has done a good job. It does not depend only on the school or teachers, if a student does not have motivation to study, no school or any teacher will be good.
