GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I overall feel like it was a good school but it needs to better its students for college. I feel like many of its students weren't ready for college just yet making many to decide to not go.

I loved Mehlville High School! I had such great experiences within the four years I attended MHS. The teachers were always a helping hand and would help when I showed that it was needed.

I have had an excellent experience with Mehlville High School as well as the entire Mehlville R-9 District in my 7 years of attendance. I have had my academic needs put first and have made a lot of friends throughout the district. I have been given the amaizng oppourtinity to go to the Early College Academy Program and it helped to put me ahead in my education.
