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 did wrestling and track and field. The coach is wonderful 10/10. He is super kind and gets to know us really well and we get to know him too. He goes above and beyond. If you need a ride to get to practice, he'll be there for you. His name is Casey and honestly he's just so amazing and smart. Probably one of the best coaches in the country. I also do theatre and our old teacher is now retired. The program is well-loved, but kinda chaotic and a little stressful. I love it, but could see how it wouldn't be everyone's favorite. The people in it are truly great tho. The classes are kinda bad tho. They're a vibe, but you don't really learn a lot & it can get crazy boring.

The campus is very welcoming. There are no cliques that that "run" the school. It is high school so there is petty drama, but nothing crazy. The staff are really nice and helpful.

What I liked about Mesa was the atmosphere. The students that attend or have attended, they're very grounded and it's not a "click" school. Students got along well, the teachers are very embedded in the students and the campus is beautiful. One thing I would like to see Mesa grow on is the school spirit and more positivity.

Mesa Verde only cares about Title 1 Funding. Do not send your children here unless you want them to be future felons.

My son is a sophmore at MV and has an excellent rapport with his teachers. His goal to get good grades, attend college, and join the Coast Guard. Open house was a great experience for us...
