As a senior at Monrovia High, I have mixed feelings about my time here. Outside of AP classes, the regular classes at MHS are dumbed down to a level that fails to challenge gifted students. I find that teachers at our school are mixed, you will find some outstanding ones and some horrible teachers.

All three of my children have attended MHS. Overall it has been an unsatisfactory experience. The counselors, up until this year have never paid any attention. And we have always tried to be 'in touch' with the staff. I must say, I am happy that this will be our last year. Aside from a handful of

As a graduate of MHS, I must say that it is a great school to attend. Though the Academic Curriculum may be shallow and lacking college level challenges, there is so much to learn about life at MHS.

Monrovia High has quite a bit to improve on...It needs a fresh new group of energetic teachers which would be a great asset to the students as well as the parents. I have three students attending and we are considering relocating. Not satisfied.

I am a student of Monrovia High, and overall I have had a great experience. I find there to be a diversity of activities, people, and elective courses at MHS; I have had a handful of highly motivational teachers during my four years; I have always felt safe and comfortable on the beautiful campus; and

My biggest complaint is that I feel academically unchallenged in most of the regular courses, and find the Advanced Placement courses to be less that college level. Ultimately however, it is more of an issue of the shallow state-curriculum and lack of parental support; I don't blame Monrovia teachers completely. Ultimately if I had a child, I would send them to Monrovia. Read less
