Monrovia High School

My child is a part of the new Math and Science Academy at MHS. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of his education. The pre-AP and honors classes he has taken have been excellent. The guest speaker series for the Math and Science Academy has been excellent with speakers from JPL, industry, and academics sharing their scientific career paths. The band program is excellent. The school has been improving and it appears that it will continue to do so in the future.

As a senior at Monrovia High, I have mixed feelings about my time here. Outside of AP classes, the regular classes at MHS are dumbed down to a level that fails to challenge gifted students. I find that teachers at our school are mixed, you will find some outstanding ones and some horrible teachers. Athletic facilities at our school are outdated, but they are currently undergoing construction with the passage of a new bond plan.

Monrovia High School is the absolute best! Even though its kind of boring at lunch the academic classes and just every class overall is GREAT! I know these 4 years are SO going to be worth it. The teachers are really easy to get along whereas the students aren't but you'll learn to cope trust me<<<<-----its a good school way better than any other schools. [:

I have just started Monrovia High School, and already I know it is going to be a great experience. The band program is getting better and I'm happy to be a part of it. :]

I must say honestly that Monrovia High School is great. The staff does interact with the students and the atmosphere is very positive and laid-back. I am going to graduate from MHS on June 11,2008 and I am proud to represent such a great school!

Ridiculous administation. Parents must contact councelors to get their attention or else they rarely see the students.

All three of my children have attended MHS. Overall it has been an unsatisfactory experience. The counselors, up until this year have never paid any attention. And we have always tried to be 'in touch' with the staff. I must say, I am happy that this will be our last year. Aside from a handful of teachers and the same of the office staff, it would be terrific for future students to have a revamped staff.

As a graduate of MHS, I must say that it is a great school to attend. Though the Academic Curriculum may be shallow and lacking college level challenges, there is so much to learn about life at MHS. The key to making Monrovia High School work for you is to get involved. There are so many different things to do outside of education and sports, and perhaps most importantly, the diversity of people and cultures teaches a student tolerance and they learn about other cultures through the schools Cultural Diversity programs and assemblies. MHS is great school for any student who wants to live life and for any parent who wants their child not only to learn educationally but to also learn valuable life skills. -Darryl

Monrovia High has quite a bit to improve on...It needs a fresh new group of energetic teachers which would be a great asset to the students as well as the parents. I have three students attending and we are considering relocating. Not satisfied.
