Wilbur D. Mills High School

The scholars program at Mills has some awesome, dedicated teachers. They go above and beyond to give the students every opportunity possible, DESPITE the lack of support from the very the district administration and school principal. Hopefully with the recent removal of this principal, school board and superintendent , significant change will occur in this very troubled school district.

I have to say this is a very disappointing school. and more importantly a disappointing admin. with a principal who has spent most of the past two years fighting with a school board and then running for a school board in Little Rock seems like what you have is a guy who doesn't care. it would be nice to see someone run this school who actually cares about it and not be so concerned about themselves and other districts the students are the ones who suffer. you have a principal who is always on the defense and is rendered useless. it is a shame

I think Mills is a great school, they offer tons of AP classes and have great AP teachers. I wouldnt send my son anywhere else.

I believe we have problems at our school but in the end the school is what we put into it so students who complain about how our school is its because of what we did not and not the making of our administrators. I love going to ills and plan on going far in my future.

The only thing good about Mills is the honors program. It's amazing. Other than that...

We have the best Scholars Program in the state.

The Scholars Program at Mills High is one of the best of it's kind anywhere. Our graduates not only get into some of the best colleges and honors programs in the country, but are prepared to compete once there. I never tire of watching these young people achieve beyond anyone's expectations.

Mills really isnt that bad, it has a lot of faults, exspecally with the teachers. But they just need to learn to keep teachers, because of those teachers leaving i have lost credits for classes cause they didnt have teachers. Thats the only the they need to work on, besides the students and their drama.

Honestly, Mills isn't all that terrible. There are a lot of complaints about administration and the amount of work given to the students, but what they're not taking into account is where the school is centrally located and the amount of power administrators actually have over the students. Sure, they can follow the handbook, but for the fact that the non-TAG students are from the area (i.e., College Station) which is in a poorer part of the district, more of those students will be apathetic; there's not been too many fights either. Mills is also a hybrid school - it is both a magnet and public school, since it has both TAG classes and 'regular' classes. The TAG classes focus mainly on AP classes/tests and college, so of course the work will be more difficult and there would be more work to prepare the students for such obstacles.
