his school is a horrible school. U should transfer them out immediately The teachers dont give the students any homework. Bad level of education and teachers give students 4.0 gpas end end up doing below basic education level resulting rejection from colleges. if you want your childeren to suceed take them to scripps ranch high school. the best highschoool in san diego. The best choice i ever made in my childs life. Its worth renting a place over there to get your children enrolled. Now one of them goes to harvard and the othere at UCLA. Marshall middle is a good school for middles school students. My son left in 10th grade just a week ago. Now he is saying that he is learning and his chemistry teacher is giving him so much to learn. He stays after school with UCSD profesers to learn about college as he is going to be the first one from our family to go.
Mira Mesa High School is an awesome School with a caring and committed staff. The diversity our School offers is unmatched and adds to the overall growth of our kids. If that isn't example enough in choosing Mira Mesa over Scripps the spelling and grammar errors offered by the supposed Scripps parent shows the education expectations between the two schools. Having had 2 kids graduate from MMHS and a junior in the SchooI now, I know that that type of spelling and grammar is considered an embarrassment and wouldn't be tolerated at our School. This parent (which I don't believe) could use some tutoring from some of our 3rd grade students in any one of the six awesome elementary Schools the community of Mira Mesa has to offer. The kid's and parent's that have been in and around MMHS know what we have and we are proud of all it has to offer. GO MARAUDERS!!!!
Outstanding school. Provides a variety of academic programs and extra-curricular activities. Staff and teachers have been supportive and responsive to parents and students. My Sr. and Fr. both have different learning styles and are on college prep path. I feel each are getting the appropriate levels of academic rigor to support their success in college. Top notch AP program- including Fine Arts. High pass rate for AP exams. My child will enter college with nearly a years worth of AP credit transferred. Extra-curricular activities are strongly encouraged and are supporting the development of the whole student. Both of my kids participate in sports and interest based activities. Overall very pleased with the school and what it is providing my family.
We love MMHS. The teachers and staff DO care; but they have high expectations from the students to give equal care and consideration to their education. Please recognize, it is difficult to teach a classroom of 20+ students when 5 or 6 of them continue to disrupt the process. There are plenty of activities, sports, clubs and after school activities. Any of our problems, questions or concerns were immediately addressed. I would recomment MMHS over Scripps anyday.
This school is AWESOME!!! My oldest graduated in 2008 and is now in her senior year at UCSD and off to law school after that. MMHS is a very diverse school that can handle the needs of the smart braniac AP and seminar kids but can also motivate and work with all learning levels. My 3 girls are at completely different learning levels and this school has been able to support and achieve success with all of them. The school is very diverse, has a lot of clubs, the sports team are awesome and there is a lot of parent involvement. The teachers are very dedicated and sincerely care about the students. The principal is also very involved , hands on kind of guy. I am very proud to be a MMHS parent, my youngest just started her freshman year and i know she will have a great learning experience throughout the next 4 years!
I couldn't wait until my girls moved from Challenger to MMHS. The teachers and admin are respectful and considerate of their individual needs. The amount of clubs, activities and sports teams is never-ending. I thank all personnel involved for the successes of my children. Their enthusiasm for adventures and learning would not be this great without your involvement and care. Thank you for a safe environment where our children can thrive.
This is by far the most diverse school I have attended, there are plenty of students for me to make friends with. The campus is HUGE! no joke we have a seven minute passing period, and so many sports it will make your head spin. But going to Mira Mesa sure does have some down sides. Lets start with the staff. Although our principle is the most school spirit inclined, and most motivational principle I have ever had, a big majority of the staff makes me sick to my stomach. You either get good teachers, or teachers that couldn't teach a rock how to just sit there, it is not only embarrassing but frustrating for me, the student.
We have a wonderful Visual and Performing Arts Dept. and the students are just great!
The diversity of the students and the high quality of the teachers and programs at Mira Mesa High School contribute to a great high school environment.
I love my school due to its diverse group of students, the faculty and its overall great atmosphere.
