Some of the teachers here are really wonderful however others don't treat the children very good at all. I've noticed that some of the teachers here talk down to the kids and don't treat them with kindness at all. Seems as though they very much have the mentality that children should be seen and not heard. My kids complained on several occasions that the teachers would raise their voice without reason, sometimes so loud they explained being frightened by certain teachers. Also I had called and requested my child be seen by the school counselor and my daughter said they never followed up. The bullying at this school is not taken seriously at all and often times is brushed off and the bullied kids walk away from situations feeling like they are at fault. I can't wait for the year to end to not have anything else to do with this school.

Even the teacher would bully your child

I am a sophomore in the band program at mesa high. I would like to say I enjoy this school but there needs to be some updates. The school board focuses on student athletics, don't get me wrong but there are so many other great programs at this school, for example, our clubs, the performing arts program, our AP classes, our FAFSA program, etc... But here's the thing teachers are great, except the students, but the board does not. I will say that I was not doing ok mentally but we have our awesome social workers, and they will help. This school also helps with getting college credits early WE have the ACE program and many dual enrollment classes. One thing I wish they did is to give the band a senior poster, because other schools do it, all of the sports have senior posters, so why can't we? The seniors put in lots of hard work for what they do. The teachers here are great I just wish the school board would focus on other things than sports. They need to acknowledge some students, not the student body.
