This is a horrible school for families, they don't support students mental health or allow the parents to be involved in the issue. The administration within the front office are all horrible people and am genuinely surprised they work with teenagers on a daily basis. please pray for the administration here as they lie to make you believe certain things about your child. Please look out for that if having a student attend here and please trust your judgment if your child is telling you something is wrong within the school.

Mead is a great environment for my childrens learning and achievement. The teachers are top notch professionals teaching facts and not political bias. The counselors are phenomenal meeting with individual students several times a year to keep track of their grades, goals, and any special needs they may have. The coaches are people with the morals and ethics you want your children to have as role models. I am also thankful for the St Vrain school board for having a solid mission to educate all children in a safe environment. My teenagers thrive here. I recommend 100%

This school has poor leadership and no compassion at all. The school administration issues punishments to students without investigating an incident that took place. The administration of this school also does not respect students explanation when they are asked to explain or provide a statement of an incident that took place. This school has no respect overall. Everyone got bullied and been called racial derogatory names while the school administration doesnt do anything about it at all. There is lots of inequality and racism at this school since my freshmen year. School administrators state that they will do something about it but in reality, they do not and instead they investigate and attempt to find a way to make it look like the victim is now the perpetrator even though the victim is fully innocent. This school enforces harsh punishments to those students who dont deserve it at all especially towards students who are a member of a colored ethnicity or race. I would recommend going to Frederick High School or Longmont High School instead as those two schools are a lot better with learning, teaching, academic support, family engagement, and safety. Both Longmont and Frederick High School have less power hungry administrators which is a lot better than Mead High School.

Great school. In a well situated place makes for easy access. Teachers seem like they really care about their students! Most of the time theres usually a couple that you can tell dont. However I have not found that to be the case here. The facilities are nice. Overall Ive been extremely pleased with everything about this school.

It was an aid to classroom rather than a necessity for learning.
Posted: May 11, 2019
All teachers at this school care considerably and are supportive of all students.
Posted: May 11, 2019
Values of what it means to be a Maverick are continuously instilled in the everyday learning environment. They are positive and realistic values that are attainable and upheld by students and families throughout the community.
Posted: May 11, 2019
Through administration, the classroom or encouraging students to become leaders within the classroom, school and community. Leadership is a reoccurring topic of discussion and follow through.
Posted: May 11, 2019
This is the most inclusive public high school I have ever seen. They increasingly provide new opportunities for students and families to be educated on how to better support those with learning disabilities or how you yourself or your student can get better help dealing with a learning disability.
Posted: May 11, 2019
Instances of bullying that are brought to the attention of administrators is handled fairly well but only when it is "a good time" or only if there is proof.

This school was incredibly helpful in setting students up for success post-graduation. It was a welcoming and supportive environment in which I felt valued and appreciated which helped provide confidence in the classroom. The connections made within the high school were valuable and applicable post-graduation.

This school is egotistical, they have 0 god stuff about it. There is no respect at all. This would be a great school if you are in a click, otherwise, there is 0 opportunities for the other people who are not in sports, and that are not in a click. This school is about pushing, competition, in which this school has no fun, you really don't learn anything at all. There is a problem with all the sports including wrestling. Everyone in the sports are egotistical, in this case, the people who are not in a click don't get to play, they just get to sit on the benches and watch. The others who get to play are in clicks and are popular. Making those students arrogant. There is no peace at this school overall. There is 0 motivation. There is only winning and no losing which makes horrible teamwork which this school lacks. There is lot more I can say, though it would make this lengthy.
Posted: March 15, 2019
There is hardly any motivation, there is no respect, there is no compassion. There are 0 punishments for those who act upon others with aggression and physical contact(fighting).
Posted: March 15, 2019
There is 0 leadership whats so ever..
Posted: March 15, 2019
They think everyone learns the same. In this case, lots of people struggle because its only being taught one way, unlike other schools where they look at their students and see how they are learning the material. And this school doesn't do that.
Posted: March 15, 2019
Everyone in the situation gets suspended, bullying keeps pressing on, where nothing gets dealt with. only a few day suspension. There is a lot of aggression.
Posted: December 13, 2017
Again, to deal with this issue. They suspend all students involved, do not call parents until they have enough " evidence", and then bully the parent by waving this evidence. So you end up not defending your child because it will cost you more time and money! Then after punishing your child they continue the bullying and costing the parent by reentry meeting. This is to trap you and again bully your child into saying or doing something wrong, parent beware!!!!

The message sent to kids in my opinion is that to brush everything aside just to keep peace.

The special ed department has an amazing staff that care for my son and see that all his needs are met.

Decent enough people but all Mediocre themselves and no one that just shines and lights up the classroom.
Posted: April 28, 2016
Fair enough! Never too much and never too little. Honors/AP kids will have more homework and higher expectations than regular classes.
Posted: April 28, 2016
Fair punishments and inclusive behaviors are encouraged helping the kids to develop conscious honesty and integrity.
Posted: April 28, 2016
Average rating for an average school. The kids are for the most part inclusive and nice and reflective of small town spirit but there isn't a single faculty member, program, or club that stands out against others. Just mediocre all around. The orchestra is terrible.
