People who want to berate test scores need to learn how to spell 'higher'. I am a member of MHS Class of '06 and had a great time here academically. My favorite teacher was easily Mrs. Schroeder. I had her for sophomore advanced English and senior AP English, and she's a gem of a teacher. It's ridiculous that they took her out of that position to put her as 'department coordinator', or whatever. What a waste of talent. Because of her, I got a '4' (above passing) on the AP Literature and Composition Test and am now an English major at Stanislaus State.
sorry to say, but this school has terrible academics, and if you can't graduate from MHS, then you my friend, are doomed. teachers aren't involved, and the quality of the staff is down right poor. not much of a challenge from the former school i left.
I when to merced high and grduated with the class of o6'! yeah every school has there up's and down's but i loved merced high.. I feel that i wouldnt have made it too graduation day if i wasnt at merced high.....
MHS has the quality of a school in a since that there are fairly high test scores and student cooperation. However, the campus has many vandalism and gang problems as well as undisciplined students with garbage. The teachers are very excellent. But however, the school GVHS has a hire test score.
Teachers are fine, but the school is on a downhill slide. School boundaries need to be changed.
Merced high is an overall great school. I love thier teachers and campus. I really reccomend merced high.
I think Merced high school Is the best school in Califonia. I was a student there and I have had no greater joy than to work there and make life-long friends. merced High has so much school Spirit, I think that thay really have some Fine teachers with great teaching methods.I am proud to say that i was a MercedHigh student. I hope that every one can Share the enthusiasum I have for Merced High. The school is a great Chance for other teenagers to get well informed about other ethnicities. I love That we can be involved with so much student activity! I love this school, and would recomend it to anyone who's child has a Bright future!
The Staff and Administration at Merced High School are compasionate about education and have an unrelenting determination to help every child succeed. I was extreemly glad my children attended this school as they were well prepared for college and life in general. Thanks to the wonderful staff for all of the hard work and dedication.
The teacher quality, especially who teach AP classes, is very poor.
