When I recently moved, I purposely chose the Mayde Creek zone. I did not want a high school where materialism was rampant or football was a god. I wanted a good, overall balanced school where the college prep track was tough. I found all of this and more for my children. While it is true that you will

You will not find a high school anywhere that does not have some unsavory kids. Sometimes they just dress better or drive better cars. The AP courses are phenomenal, and are good preparation for college. One of my children is now doing very well at a tough private college, and the other recently aced the SAT. They are extremely well prepared for college and for life. Read less

The complaints against the math department are grossly exaggerated. I recently graduated and went directly into advanced integral calculus at a major university and got an A. I truly believe that the educational experience at MCHS made me more prepared than most of my classmates at UT.

I am a teacher at MCHS and have been for the last 13 years. There has been changes in the demographics of our students which has made our jobs more of a challenge. What is the result? Our teachers have risen to the occasion and incorporate new strategies that reach out to all levels of learners. We do

I'm proud to work there and know that I am in great company. Do you realize how difficult it is to motivate a student that has no support at home, no one to bribe them with cars, clothes, money, etc.? This is our challenge and we bust our tails to see those kids succeed. Read less

I had 4 students in that school. There are a few great teachers that actually care, but they are unfortunately overshadowed by so many bad teachers. Two of my daughters were on the drill team and if you weren't one of the 'Otwell favorites' , then your experience wasn't the best, to say the least. One

My son went to MCHS for 2 yrs, he is a well mannered average student who needed extra math help. The straw that broke the camel's back was when we asked for a parent teacher conference and all his teachers showed up except his math teacher. During the entire meeting the counselor was antsy and distracted

The counselor never had him write his 4 year plan until we went to the school and insisted. Sad to say he and his friends have now graduated and none (even the straight A students) were able to place straight into college algebra classes. The kids that got attention at MCHS were the disciplinary problems, of which there were many. Read less
