The principal plays favorites with some kids and bullies others. There is very little follow through from the principal.

Principal McClelland is a bully herself, so.....

It was mediocre over-all. I was dismayed to see my son come home with a juvenile workbook well below his ability worth five credits toward graduation. They don't seem to think he is worthy of a high school level education.

There is no homework policy at this school.

Some teachers are excellent and some are just putting in time. There seems to be a lot of discontent with the principal among the teachers.

Some teachers really promote this, and others do the bare minimum. The school is no longer what it used to be when my niece went there 5 years ago.

I am a parent of a student who graduated in 2012. If it wasn't for this school, amazing teachers & Mrs. Kennedy he wouldn't be where he is today. The first school were he felt safe, valued and worthy.

Three stars for academic quality, five for flexibility and caring staff. Because this is a continuation high school, there are many academically-challenged students and the staff does a great job at accommodating them. Because many students have difficult personal circumstances, they are mostly respectful of the efforts of the teaching staff and seem to appreciate the school. The campus is clean and seems safe. The best part, however, is that motivated students can take classes at the local Community College and receive high-school credits. My son is among those who graduated early by going to Mesquite and attending college classes. He is now in an Engineering PhD program on full scholarship.

Amazing school that cares about each student. Teachers that are top notch and know how to be flexible with individuality and still make sure your student gets the education they need to make it in the real world.
