I want yall high school parents to be careful our kids are being given vape pens and weed pens without our consent and money these kids are bringing this stuff to school!!! Im going to report this and I wont sleep at night until I find out why is this happening and why arent the school checking the students for drugs and tobacco!!!! They need more than clear freaking book bags!!!! These kids came home for the summer with a drug and tobacco addiction and this is NOT ok and if youre giving these things to people you call a friend you are not a friend but an enemy!!!!!

Mulberry has the best administrators in the district. They teachers truly care about the students and this is reflected in the effort shown in providing quality instruction.

This school does nothing less than envourage bullying. NOTHING gets done about students with mental problems, if anything the decent students get blamed for the problems of the students with severe mental issues.

Alot of teachers at this school just write on the dry erase board, tell students to do a page in the textbook, and write classroom notes.

This school is horribly backwards. Many teachers/ faculty members show favoritism towards some kids, while showing arrogance towards some students for no reason. The troubled students basically get away with their bad behaviors while making good students pay the price. Some students are harrassed and made fun of because of the way they dress.

Leadership is a failure at this school.

The teachers only know how to teach one specific way, not providing students that learn differently a chance to learn.

Some teachers give too much homework, while others give 5 minutes worth of homework.

Absolutely terrible school. I can't advise anyone enough to keep their kids away from this school if they care about their kids. Bottom line is everything about this school is worthless.

MHS is so disorganized! I have never seen anything like it. My kids are so unhappy with the level of education they are receiving. There are very few teachers in the school that actually care about teaching. The rest are just there along with the other staff. If students are needing to go to the guidance they are told to do so only on their lunch break. I don't agree with this. I personally go up to the guidance and they treat me like a child and hand me a slip to fill out on the reason why I need to make an appointment.

The teachers show alot of favortism and bulling among students. This not giving all of them an equal chance to succeed. There is no communication between teachers, adminstrators and parents. Some of the teachers lack in preforming their duties as far as teaching goes. I have had three children go to this school and have had nothing but issues with their education. I have since pulled them and placed them into another high school where we are having a lot more success and happiness all the way around. I do not recommend this school. I know several parents that have moved their children because of the same issues.
