At any school kids can become influenced by other kids because all of the children are not there for the sole purpose of learning. We as parents have to b diligent in teaching our children his/her purpose and instilling that quality in them. I have found that when you are an involved parent and is concerned about your child's education so is the teacher.
A large majority of students at this high school are not interested in learning or doing work. Teachers at this school spends more time trying to get class in order than teaching .Parents if you are serious and care about your child's education do not sent him or her to this school. There is too many unruly, disrespectful and unconsiderate students here that they may influence your child to forget about the real reason they are in school.
There are a lot of good teachers at this school, but the current students require a lot of discipline and take away from the educational instruction of the entire class.
Mesquite High is a school full of tradition and is a positive learning environment for our kids.
Variety of good extracurriculars and many good teachers who enjoy what they do. Administration and academic philosophies greatly suffer though. Not a good school if you want your kids to receive a good, not merely adequate, academic education.
This is the best high school in mesquite. MMB (mighty maroon band) rules!!!!!!
This has very good teachers that care about the kids and the education they receive. The academic program is very good as well as the parent involvement. There are a variety of extracurricular activites in which the kids can participate.
This is a really great school
