I have enjoyed my 1 1/2 years at Medina. The school is huge, but broken up so that you don't really feel the size except for assemblies. The teachers are some of the best, and the administration has cleaned up its act after an incompetent, but nice, principal. This school has a lot to offer, and I

It seems as though you have to pay for every activity but it is worth it because of the excellent sports, music, and performance departments. My only gripe is that I came from a school with a seven point scale to Medina's 10 point scale. This would seem as an advantage but I felt slightly less challenged. And Everyone takes AP classes. I felt inferior despite my excellent grades. But Medina's Great! Read less

Being a senior at Medina High School has given me nearly four years to look back upon. Looking back now, I believe I would not be heading in the direction I am today without having attended MHS. The school has to be one of the better ones in the state. Not only does it offer its students top-notch programs,

The administration, too, is working harder and harder to get their footing in the ground while the staff here at MHS are continue to strive for the excellence they always have. While the school is rather large, there are ones that are bigger. Yet Medina students still get to where they need to be. What an excellent school! Read less

Medina High School was a great school to go to. The extracurricular activities are numerous and they have a truly amazing arts program with award winning bands, choirs, and orchestras.

I would recommend this school to anyone who wants a great education and experience. If someone says that you can get lost in the crowd because it is so big, then they probably just didn't try.

I graduated from Medina High School within the last two years and am now attending a private college in the Cleveland area. I am proud to have come from Medina High School and can truly say that the teaching staff and academic curriculum gave me a very large advantage over other students in college.
... Read more The honors program, particularly the AP program, is top-notch. I have yet to find another high school that offers more classes than MHS. While the high school administration, as of my knowledge today, is still a bit mediocre, it is the teachers that create a world-class learning environment. In addition, there are numerous extracurricular activities. MHS is well-known in the state for having extremely well-developed, technologically-advanced buildings (my university comes nowhere close to matching the technological and architectural prestige of MHS). While MHS is quite large, I never found this to be problematic. Go bees! Read less

Ignore the 'parent' rating. These parents are rating it low because of the high taxes in Medina. But, the taxes go towards the high school where it is a state of the art building. The prinicpals aren't amazing,but they aren't bad either. Teacher quality is amazing at MHS, extracurricular activities are

Last year the orchestra was invited by the Russians to attend and perform at the international music festival in St. Petersburg, Russia where only a select few orchestras from the US participate in!

This high school has amazing things to offer your children.

Yes,

The administration is working out a new plan to either extend the current high school or to build another one. But regardless, MHS is a 10/10. Get your child involved with the many many extra curricular activities offered here, and meet the teachers as they are willing to bend over backwards to help the students succeed. I am a former student there and I was amazed with my experience. With state of the art fitness center, performance hall and architecutre, I recommend MHS. Go bees! Read less

Parents, please reconsider sending your child to this school. MHS is way too large apx 2500 students. The students get caught up in the mix. It is no mystery why Medina looses many great academic students and athletes to other schools. We have been very supportive of the school and are quite disappointed.
... Read more Please save your time, effort and your child's time and effort. They tout a 9 rating but the other schools in the area do very well. Politics play more of a roll than effort and accomplishment from the student. This school a mess although opulent ' Based on taxes ' The AD and Principal need to be replaced. Stay away from this school!! Read less
