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.

Best part about being a student at Mission high school is the diversity everyday i can walk in the school and see people my color, people that have similar backgrounds as me , the programs at Mission are also one of the best. One of the worst parts of my school is mostly the safety part sometimes i don't feel safe at school , with the students and sometimes all the fights that occur.

My new advice is to experience Mission High School then to make your judgement about it because any school even if it has bad reviews can be better than what it seems. I mean if Mission is su...
