Malcolm X Shabazz High School Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 57 reviews
Malcolm X Shabazz is a very disciplined and well maintained school that provides the students with the best needs and also has good teachers that helps students to understand whatever they are learning . It also has good counselors that helps students prepare for college and academically advice them.
MXS, like many other schools, is what you make of it. You won’t find any other school where the teachers are as extremely dedicated to uplifting their students. Granted, there are administrators who aren’t up to par and even students who give you bad days, but being a bulldog (our mascot) is being family. We look out for one another and without a doubt want to see our classmates succeed. Love surrounds our atmosphere and friendships even though our circumstance may be lacking. We’re inner city kids with big futures ahead of us, and our school is so impactful we will proudly claim our alumni status. Thank you.
