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.

My overall experience at Mount Miguel has been interesting. Since covid cut off all of my freshman year of high school I technically started going to high school as a sophomore. Nonetheless going to the football games and basketball games in sophomore year introduced me to the high school environment. I am in Matator Early College and my experience in that program has been nothing but amazing. Being in that program opened my eyes and prepared me to go to college and start living my own life.

I've had a great counselor to help me get through my nearly four years attending this school. Most of the teachers and staff are kind and understanding of the students and their needs. The food could be better, but it's a public high school so my hopes weren't high in the first place.

The best experience is how the school has evolved over the years during my freshman year it wasn't the most pleasing school. After Covid the school started to add on such as new facilities, football field, quad, classrooms. They also prioritize mental health which is a major plus. Some of the worst experiences from mount miguel would be the constant tension between some of the gangsters.

I would rate my school as a great school entirely because I have never been to a public high school and Mount Miguel was my first one and I am currently attending as a Junior. I love the teachers and the staff is very friendly, but people give us a bad rap and call us " Mount Mighetto" but if they a...

I really enjoyed my four years at Mount Miguel. I build very strong connections with many of the staff members. Teachers are great, caring, and loving. You definitely get plenty of leadership and community service opportunities, if and only if, you put yourself out there and get involved. #Shoutout...
