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.

Mehlville High School has a wide range of teachers and students from different ethnicities and races, and they all get along together in a positive way. The teachers are always prepared if an event happens and are considerate on what the safest and best way to handle it is. The principals are quick and easy to communicate with. One thing I would like to see change though is the overall safety of our school as sometimes they are unprepared and unclear on what to do for certain events.

Through Mehlville I've gotten into programs like Freedoms Foundatio...

This school is known as a great school. which is not true. the kids at this school arent being controlled by the school employees. The kids sleep during class, and skip school daily. Not many schools do have such carlessness of the kids. My daughter has attended Mehlville and it is sad on how unsati...
