I have injoyed this school since the moment I walked in it. Also it has a GREAT! music department.
We are new in the area and have heard alot of nice things about Mt Spokane but I have to say after the 1st Semester I am not impressed. I hope this is a adjustment problem and I am proven wrong in the 2nd semester. Glad we haven't purchased our home yet. Does anyone know if Mead High School is better?
Congratulations Mt. Spokane H.S., on making Newsweek's top 1300 U. S. High Schools! It is a well deserved honor to a caring staff that has worked so hard in meeting the needs of all of the students. There are so many opportunities for our students: an increased list of AP exams available; the new AVID program, which gives help to those kids who need a little extra push; a vast array of clubs, sports, and extra-curricular activities; a staff that welcomes parent involvement. I have had two children graduate and my third child is a sophomore. All three have different interests and personalities, but all three have had great experiences at Mt. Spokane.
Mt. Spokane is a wonderful school. Per Newsweek, Mt. Spokane is ranked as one of the top 1,300 schools in the nation. The administration is committed to academic excellence. Students are encouraged to excel and are offered a wide variety of school sponsored clubs, sports programs and music programs. Also, Mt. Spokane has an award winning marching band and music program. I would highly recommend this school!
I think Mt.Spokane is a terrible school, and I do not advise anyone who is somewhat out of the ordinary to attend this school. I have personally experienced how miserable Mt.Spokane H.S can make a student feel. I was miserable every day I went to Mt.Spokane and am so happy that I do not attend that school anyomore.
I will keep this short and sweet. I have not attended a better school in my life.
This is a great school if your child excells, if not then a 2.0 grade average is considered OK. There are a lot of kids falling by the wayside. There are a few realy great teachers here but most pretty poor performers. I noticed that the other reviews are all from parents of kids that are excelling. If I knew what I know now I would niot have purchased a home in the Mead School District
The teachers are involved with the students. I have had 2 of my own kids graduate from Mt Spokane and sponsored 3 other foreign exchange students. Counselors for all students were interested and provided guidance as appropriate. No problems academically with any of my students as they are all very self-motivated and were encouraged to excel by their teachers. School stresses the use of technology in completing assignments.......heavy use of powerpoint and other presentation and graphical programs for most core studies. Lots of extracurricular activities in a variety of interests.
Mt. Spokane is amongst the best in the state. The staff and faculty are made up of many interesting and top notch teachers though at times some may be narrow minded and to say the least boring; although, this does in no way reflect the entire staff and faculty. The school has incredible resources and pleasant surroundings and working conditions. One of the few flaws of Mt. Spokane High School is the diversity though this is truly not due to the school but more so to the location. Overall Mt. Spokane High School is a great place to advance and start of a true academic career.
Mt. Spokane High School is a wonderful environment for my kids. The teachers and staff work hard to help the kids achieve, and they really try to reach the kids right where they are. There are amazing opportunities for the kids to excel. We are very pleased with the sports, clubs, music and arts, and other extra-curricular activities that are offered. Mt. Spokane strives to focus on the complete student, and helps them to be their best in all aspects of their high school career. There are also many opportunities for parents to assist the staff in making all of this happen for the students.
