My youngest child will be a senior at North Mesquite this '09-'10 school year. Throughout the years my kids have attended schools in the Dallas, Garland, and Mesquite ISD's as well as the Catholic Diocese of Dallas. My first experience with NMHS was in '05-'06; I was less than impressed. Most especially

The impact of his arrival on the entire faculty and staff was evident from the very beginning. As an actively involved parent, I can attest to a complete turnaround at this school. My son's grades have even improved -icing on the cake! There are many parent reviews of NMHS that, though harsh, are likely not inaccurate. They describe a culture that is now in the past. I would recommend NMHS. Read less

I'm sure there are many better schools in the metroplex than North Mesquite. But the relentless bashing it and it's now leaving principal have recieved in these reviews is ridiculous and unfounded. As a current senior I happen to know that the school has many fine teachers as well as many not so great

The notion that the administration does not care is in my opinion ludicrous. The few policies of the school that many seem to disagree with are not implemnted by them anyway, but by the district. Blame the school board members if you must. But don't try to say this school is bad. It is anything but. Read less

I feel that North Mesquite could be a great school again, but it starts with the principal, and since she has arrived it's been going down hill ever since. There is no dicipline, no inforcement of the rules, and chaos in the hallways. The administrators do not follow up to see if the students that

I attended this school and now my daughter attends. I love this school and there are great teachers. I just wish there was a better teacher/parent involvement and a little more security. The kids are a little too free when they are outside.

I am very disappointed in this school. No one even cares. They want parents to be involved but won't work with the parents. If I could I would take my child out of there. Everyone said put your child in Mesquite schools they really care but as I have found out they do not. I can not even get PTA information--Sad

I was a student from 2000-2004 and I saw the downfall of the school. A year before I came to north, there was a principal who seemed to care about his students. Then, there came a new principal. There were also many great teachers who left during the years I was there. Now, the school is nothing
