I would definately have to say Med-High truly prepares their students for college. I graduated from Med-High in 2003 and am currently attending Texas State University-San Marcos Texas. I can honestly say that Med High for me was a lot more challenging than college has been so far. The teachers are very effective in how they teach. They have high expectations of their students and give them space to be creative and involved in all sorts of things. Even though there aren't any sports they do give you an opportunity to participate in volunteer work for the community. And the best part is that you have friends all over the valley from different cultural backgrounds. It is truly a well rounded school with great teachers and staff. Students will only benefit from this experience that you can't get anywhere else. Students can truly reach their potential and be successful.
awesome school for any student to attend. very challenging and you learn a lot. you get to meet people from all over the rio grande valley, which really broadens your thinking and allows you to understand where everyone is coming from.
Hello, my daughter attends Med High because of the benefits it offers. This school is perfect for a bright student who wants to work in the health field. Of course, the curriculum is very challenging (she was getting straight A's in her regular schools, this is the first time she's recieved anything below). Academics is the most important thing in this school, there's not even any sports. If you have a bright child who wants a brighter future, I highly recommend this school.
