My child attended MBHS grades 9-12. This year students will enjoy a completely new campus managed by a fairly new administration. The principal was 'Principal of the Year' for the Region (2007). Test scores have risen, the quality of teachers has improved, students are disciplined, and the environment

Participation level above the Sophomore level tends to be very clickish. What you can expect for your child is a well rounded and stable school experience coupled with a small Texas town (getting bigger) environment. Read less

Of all the schools my son has attended this is one of the worst. The new principle is not family oriented. You can't get anywhere in the chain of command because they all back each other whether they know the correct answer. Small town politics and your child will be lost in this school for sure. Mine

Mavank High is one of the best schools my children have attended. My middle child graduated in 2001 and I had two younger children attending. We had to transfer to another state due to my position. Regretfully the new school is no where as advanced as MHS.
