The Scholars Program at Mills High is one of the best of it's kind anywhere. Our graduates not only get into some of the best colleges and honors programs in the country, but are prepared to compete once there. I never tire of watching these young people achieve beyond anyone's expectations.

Mills really isnt that bad, it has a lot of faults, exspecally with the teachers. But they just need to learn to keep teachers, because of those teachers leaving i have lost credits for classes cause they didnt have teachers. Thats the only the they need to work on, besides the students and their drama.

Honestly, Mills isn't all that terrible. There are a lot of complaints about administration and the amount of work given to the students, but what they're not taking into account is where the school is centrally located and the amount of power administrators actually have over the students.

Read more can follow the handbook, but for the fact that the non-TAG students are from the area (i.e., College Station) which is in a poorer part of the district, more of those students will be apathetic; there's not been too many fights either. Mills is also a hybrid school - it is both a magnet and public school, since it has both TAG classes and 'regular' classes.

Mills is 112 in the country. They had a couple students make bad test grades which affected the ranking. Other than that, the school is great! They really teach with passion, not by force :)

Academically speaking this is an awesome school! A wide varity of classes are offered. The Scholars program teachers are the cream of the crop and go the extra mile to help the students succeed. Discipline is a problem because the district and school handbooks need an update with tougher consequences
... Read more (sooner than later) for repeat offenders. The facility and technology systems need an overhaul. The students need help to bridge the gap between the scholars program students and the traditional program students. Communication between the school and the parents needs to be more of a priority (e.g. promising to send out announcements via email in January that has not happened, yet). The atmosphere of the main office needs to be more welcoming. Parent involvement is extremely low. Read less

Horrible! The administration is the worst and they waste their time creating rules when they need to be enforcing the current ones. The amount of homework is more than needed.
