As a current student here at Medina valley highschool, I came from Earl Warren Highschool last year in February and I truly dislike this school so much, the environment makes me feel overwhelmed and admins can truly for sure be rude. Last year before this whole cell phone law they were already very strict and was a dramatic change from Earl Warren highschool, i feel so out of place here at this school and have begged my mom to unroll me and take me back but I am unable to because my mom doesn't want to make the 12 min drive for me, MY POINT IS if you're student wanting to enroll or wanting to enroll your son/daughter I would highly suggest move your kid into NISD and make an out of district transfer, I do have dyslexia and do need help with things but counselors don't want to help me get extra help or even let me change classes, NISD will help with all of that I would have yearly check ups with all my teachers and parent and would talk about how I'm doing in school but here at MVISD the teachers/admin/counselors could really care less about their students, they pay much more attention to cell phones and ID's. There disciplinary rules are overdramatic and any kid can be sent to DAEP/alternative, you can get DAEP due to attendance or even getting bullied and trying to defend yourself. parents do yourself a favor and do not enroll your kid into this school, save your kid from feeling out of place or feeling overwhelemed in this school in the middle of nowhere as much as I hates last school year, I would do anything to be back at school with my old friends and in a school knowing I have teachers who care.

In my experience, this school has been amazingly great to me whatsoever. The teachers are very kind, and mainly help you with any questions you have. The teachers only punish bad students when they really deserve it and give them many chances to change! A classmate in my college and career class has actually stopped being a trouble maker after many calls to home from their teacher, which they started to get more work done. The students at this school haven't given me much trouble and are pretty cool I'd say for 8th graders, plus there have only been about 2 fights throughout January to March. This school has been a blast for me personally, and my grades have drastically improved compared to my other schools from the 70's to high 90's. I would love to stay here another year if I was only in 7th grade.. Overall, a fantastic school. :)

This school, like any other has its share of great teachers and not so great teachers. The one thing I can say for the district as a whole is that children are more than a number or a test score. Children are what drives this district. Personally, after removing my children from a Northside school because of bullying and lack of learning, one of my daughters went from failing in Northside to an honors student in one year because she had teachers who cared. My other went from a kinder reading level in second grade to a third grade level in one year, again because her teacher cared.
