This Mansfield High School is the measure for all other school to reach. The teachers are compassionate and professional. The curriculum is rigorous and prepares all students for the next level with opportunities for various extra-curricular activities as well as dual credits and certifications. The Security measures in place, to include manned Metal Detectors, someone checking ALL of the doors ALL of the time to make sure they are locked, and visitors must ring the video door bell to be cleared to enter, makes me feel better about sending my kids to school there. If you are looking for a great school and a great community, Mansfield High School in Mansfield, Texas is it.

I am more than happy with school's performance. My kids love their school. Teachers are very competent. Principal is a good human being and a good leader.

From the parent of one of the teachers,The teachers are not the problem the parents are. Parents at this school are so entitled they want the teachers to do everything for their little darlings. Their child can do NO wrong in the parent’s eyes and they blame their child’s failures on the teachers. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the kid not turning in assignments and being disrespectful and rude to teachers and staff. Parents you need to take responsibility for your child and not blame teachers for your failures. Martinez has some of the most entitled, rude, disrespectful and lazy parents in the district.

Charlene McKinzey Middle is overall one of the better Mansfield ISD middle schools. You can expect a normal education here, with teachers with good experience. Particularly, for the STEM program, you can expect more hands on and technological activities and less paper work, building things like rollercoasters, wind turbines, and more through “PBLs (Project Based Learning)”. Other than the hands on activities, you can expect much of the same thing that comprehensive students learn. For comprehensive classes, you can expect varied experiences with different teachers with the added perk of being in a good band, orchestra, and other extracurriculars. You should note that for the STEM program, you are not able to participate in band, orchestra, Spanish, and some others, but being in athletics is still an option for all students. For athletics, you should expect an above average experience with many sports available, which will most likely include the sport you are looking for. The building itself has a very contemporary and open atmosphere, similar to how many other middle schools being built after 2020 in DFW look. If you look up “new middle schools in DFW interiors” you will get a good idea of how McKinzey appears. The building is kept very clean (shout out to custodians) and you won’t have to worry about sanitary issues here, other than the occasional cockroach. The building also has many collaborative learning spaces which encourage working together with others. The only drawbacks you can see at McKinzey are that you may have an iffy teacher here and there and a few safety concerns. You will not have to worry too much about contraband being brought into the school as everyone goes through a weapons detector upon entry of the school, although there can be gaps with this system for detecting. As for most, if not every middle school there is fighting between students, and McKinzey is no exception to this issue. Eventually, the administrators in McKinzey do combat this, and it is getting better, but it is not gone. Overall, if you are looking for a good education in a growing part of Mansfield, McKinzey is a good school to consider if you are planning to attend here. If you are not yet in McKinzey or have a student that cannot attend McKinzey yet, Brenda Norwood Elementary and Alma Martinez Intermediate feed into Charlene McKinzey Middle.
