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.

So far my high school experience has been great. All of the teachers make sure you understand the topics they teach and they help you with all types of problems you have.

As a student of MESA I have, to be honest about what I truly think of the school and that is that I personally like the school. It is a school where one could be comfortable being who you truly are without anyone making fun of one because of that. In a sense, we are also like a family because we have what is called Advisory and we are in a classroom with other students and we talk about our day or play games. We stay with that group from 9th grade all the wy to 10th grand. In the school, bonding is really important that we even take bonding trips the second week of school. MESA and everyone in it is family to me. The only thing I would like there to be is more of a diversity. People from other races entering the school would be great.

The teachers at my school put all of their students before everything and make sure our road to a better future is smooth. They never give up on us no matter how much we struggle. One thing that is really special about them is that they always stay after school to help students who did not get the topics in class and they would stay for however long you want. Now that is perseverance.

This school is amazing. The teachers and staff really genuienly care for the well being of the children. They work so well with the students and strive to make sure your child reaches their educational potential. If your child need extra help, they have no problem putting in the extra hours to do so...
