My main problem was that throughout highschool (and middle school) my math teachers would be absent often and replaced with substitutes. Because of this, it was normal to learn the same thing years in a row. And though not technically the fault of the school, students often got into fights every other week. Despite this, most of the teachers are nice and not antagonistic (at least mine were) so the school wasn't horrible.

The community is great, however there is a lack of teachers and electives. You can tell the teachers that are there truly care for the students and want to make the school as best as possible.

Mount View High School is a place where you can meet friends you'll know for the rest of your life. I like for most part that there really was not any bullying and most of the teachers were fun and you could easily ask them for help. There are quite of few things I would like to change though. I would like there to be more opportunities for the students there. As well as more sports and better discipline action for students who disobey the rules. There also are not as many teachers as before so you will get the same teacher at least three times a day or for the next two years. I would also like for there to be more diverse classes such as a class that can help you prepare and understand college better.
