As a current student at Mesa Junior High, I feel I am recieving a wonderful learning experiance. The councilers help prepare students for college with the assistence of a program called Quia. They also take in consideration parents suggestions as well as modificatons to students scheduals. In my opinion,
... Read more the teachers are excellent at what they do. They interatct with students and help them reach their goals. The principal at Mesa Jr. is outstanding.

I reccommend this school to anyone and I am proud to say I am a Mesa Junior High EAGLE! Read less

Our 5 kids range in age 23-14. The school was a much better school in 1998 than it is now. Very few good teachers other who need a new profession. The principal is trying too hard to cater to the hispanic community(I'm hispanic) & the school uniforms are ridiculous, kids find their way around the policy,

My kids get good grades only because I stay on them. No contact between teacher and parent unless I initiate it and even then they make me feel like I'm disturbing them.

Have not been satisfied with just about anything. No consistencies, no followup with any issues, even after requested. Principal weak in all skills. No communication with parents from any teachers have been our experiences this year, the only year our daughter has went to Mesa Junior High. We are
