Mercedes Early College was a great place to go to highschool. With there being a small class and a small amount of staff, it made the school seem very family oriented. As I progressed through highschool, while also earning credits towards my associate's, I was giving the guidance and resources to help me become successful and achieve all my goals. I am grateful for my experiences here and I would like to see this school prosper finacially. The building is old and the campus is in need of an upgrade. To give hope to the future generation of scholars that come out of Mercedes, I feel that this is the place that needs to be around. Without MECA, I would be behind in life and now I can proudly say I am ahead.
I would like to see a safer school environment. The security guards don't really help monitor the students when administrators aren't around, they just let the students wander the halls. Better meals should also be served; many students have complained about the school food making their stomachs hurt. Counselors should be better trained and should understand and get to know the students more while also giving them space to breathe. Teachers should also stick to teaching and not try to become the students friend like some teachers have.
My experience in the school district was quite normal but there is a lot of favoritism such in sports extracurricular activities and it was all on who you know. As well the things I would like to change is everyone deserves a shot it's not on who's your parent is it's not on how good you think you are just because you have connections with in the school but just to give a fair shot to everyone who wants to play in sports being clubs. And it would also be helpful to have college readiness yes or the classes that but it doesn't help you at all they don't help you on how to be ready for college what to expect the test they should be more on top of SATs and on safety
