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 last year at Mitchell High School was enjoyable. The teachers are all friendly and prepared to teach while the students were ready to learn. The teachers were often ready to provide assistance to the students and they often aided and gave us advice about our life after graduation.

During the times I was within the school is was not very good. The students academic score seemed very slow. The teachers were not so good either. The teachers seem to keep things very simple and easy to grade. I would not recommend anyone to go to this school at all.
