As stated in previous reviews, this is a good school for certain students but not all students. Students who report inappropriate behaviors are punished and revictimized by the very adults who are supposed to be safe. Bathroom policies are very clear to students to use "biologically assigned gender" bathrooms further stigmatized and contributing to poor student mental health. Student Services is nonexistent as the deans have no training and poor skills to support students (likely no interest). Test scores and reputation do not make up for damaging student well-being.

Great school that we moved back for as my family grew up going there as well. Safe and great education.

We are just about to finish our first year at Mounds View High School and I had higher hopes. To date, my student's teachers have been great with the rare few that have struggled. Her teachers seem to WANT to engage with their students and apply the course material in a way that allows students to understand what they are learning. The new found freedom in high school has been a godsend in comparison to the dictatorships of the middle and elementary schools.However, our introduction and welcome to Mounds View High School was the principal sharing how their own student is a liar and so all students are liars. This set the tone for the administration to not take any student seriously when it came to health, wellness, safety, or discipline. That was a huge red flag for me both personally and professionally. The principal also shared widely that they struggled with a 31% truancy rate the previous year which is astounding for such an affluent area. This raised several questions that I posed to the administration and instead of answers, I was asked to give him grace.My student also got seriously hurt early in the year. When I brought this to their coach's attention, I was never replied to or the info passed on to the athletic director or trainer. I ended up taking my student to urgent care as it was serious enough and I was made to feel incorrect for doing so by the (incoming) athletic director. This person never engaged a plan with the current AD or trainer, never followed up with the coaching staff, and didn't have a plan with the school nurse for academic progress. This continued for weeks despite me asking for updates or plans. I had to write my own student's back to school and back to play plan. After all of that, the trainer told me it wasn't good enough. I would say that this experience put my student and any other student at significant risk for permanent injury.Most recently, i've asked the dean, principal, and teacher for updates on a class. Nothing. Three weeks of nothing. The principal hasn't said anything nor has my student been given any indication of what to do. Mounds View cares about their reputation far more than they care about the education and wellbeing of their students.I will update as needed.
