The school is improving everyday. The teachers (except for a few) really care a great deal about the students. The principal does not return phone calls to parents, but he is a nice guy who is trying. Some teachers need to go, but all in all I would give it a 9. Academics?-excellent.

School spirit, teacher quality, extracurricular activities, school safety, discipline and parental involvement are awesome!

The principal is really trying to bring this school to a higher standard. He is hard to reach at times. Right now if my child was not in ap and honors classes, I would be somewhat displeased with the academics. Some of the guidance counselors are excellent like Ms. Stuekenjuerken. I think the school is going up. The principal needs to continue weeding out the poor teachers that don't care about the students.

Very good ROTC program, it is in the top 10% of the USA and the best in Mesquite. One of the only problems is that most of the teachers are not strict enough on dress code.

I agree with one of the readers - the principal does not return phone calls from parents and it was like pulling teeth to get the counselors to call back. The teachers are pretty responsive though - I will give them that. The band program is good, but it could be better if the directors would deal with all the drama that always goes on. My child dropped band for next year because after 2 years, they would not respond to my child's complaints after many discussions with all of them.

It's a very nice school, with great education. It's just a little crowded.

As a student of john horn high school. I like it to go on the record that it is an outstanding high school. Our principal,Mr. Perkins is highly concerned about the well being of the students and the overall quality of our education.As for the teachers, our staff of qualified teacher are detrimental to our success as a school, as are our extra-curricular programs.Quite frankly, we are receiving a quality education from a outstanding group of educators and administrators. 9th grader, John Horn high school

The head principal has no time to deal with parents when they have concerns. He won't take time to e-mail or return phone calls. This says alot about his leadership. Horn is losing ponts everyday. You have teacher who don't care about the children.
