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 think MESA is not a bad school but the funds for it are holding it back from it's potential. The staff for the school is amazing and I have never met better teachers than the teachers in MESA. All the teachers genuinely care for their students and want to see all of them succeed. The school is also very inclusive and the students are kind to each other and bullying is very rare. MESA is so small that teachers are able to help every student as long as the student wants the help and I just think the way teachers give all the students second chances us so amazing.

I liked the art classes I took, I felt challenged in them occasionally, yet they were my favorite classes. I took art for all four years. It is a diverse school, very inclusive.

I enjoy how close the community is with each other and how the teachers care about the student's successes. I would really want to see the administration be more accountable for their actions and to stop taking away traditions that makes MESA unique from other Mapleton schools.
