I love this school. I am a junior at mandeville right now and I am so glad I decided to come to this school. This is an acidemically great school that challenges students to do their best. It offers gifted programs, ap classes, honors, and on-level classes. They have great sports; the football team won

This is definitely a better school than Fontainebleau High School, seeing as though we have less students (easier learning environment) and we are more academically challenged. I would definitely recommend this school for anyone. Read less

Stepdaughter graduated this year, and is doing well at LSU on the TOPS program. I've been to the school several times and the students have always been well behaved and respectful. This school is one of the few public schools in the state that values academics as much as athletics.

MHS is a school content to rest on its academic laurels; the students are neither challenged nor guided; many of the teachers are as self-absorbed as their teenaged charges; and the school leadership, in particular the principal, suffers from gross megalomania coupled with a blurred but myopic vision

MHS is a great school. I graduated in 2006. I was fully prepared for college. I participated in both athletics and clubs. It is easy to get involved.

My child returned to MHS after attending another local H.S. for 2&1/2 yrs., and the difference in academic quality and student environment is remarkable! It was my child's decision to return, based on attending an English summer school class at MHS, & learning more in that class than in all time spent

It is a true thrill for any parent to see a child begin to 'bloom' in all areas, to achieve academic and personal potential,& an improved sense of self-esteem. To parents concerned about crowding/facility issues, please remember that most schools in New Orleans & other Katrina-affected areas were destroyed/badly damaged, causing a major influx of students. Drugs, alcohol, teen styles, & 'PDA's' are common in most high schools; parents should focus on their own kids,including their needs (eg:attention) vs. desires (eg: cars). Read less

I am very disappointed in Mandeville High School. The overall physical condition of the school is poor and the school seems quite overcrowded. On a recent trip to the school to handle some paperwork, students could be seen groping each other openly in the hallways and cafeteria. Teachers and staff

My son is a senior this year, and we have been very pleased. I strongly disagree with other reviews which stated that the academic program is lacking. All schools can improve, but this school IS preparing my son. He is not sliding by. His grades are reflective of his abilities since grade school. I know

Overprotection and fear of talking to your children at earlier stages leaves them looking for outlets. Encouraging their interests and strengths gives them confidence and places to 'fit in' when they get to high school,giving them strength to resist peer pressure and preventing the need for self medication. I'm tired of parents blaming schools. You are their first teacher! Read less
