I like that Mead is inclusive and that the teachers and faculty are always checking up on the students and are trying to help the students with their futures as much as possible. Although the counselors and their involvement came definitely be improved.
MHS is an overall average school. Granted, it has its highs and lows as does anything, but they end up meeting in the middle to create an okay experience. It is a C average school, meaning most kids blow their high school years off, and the ones who truly want to strive for greatness will move mountains to do so, which I think is pretty normal, sadly. A majority of the teachers there are amazing and make students excited to learn their subjects, which is essential for sparking career interests in the people who will be handling the world going forward.
College is seemingly forced on all of the students. As students, we get the mindset of "if you don't go to college, you are useless" hammered into us. College isn't for everybody, and they are setting kids up to go thousands in debt for a degree they won't use. At the same time, SAT prep and college opportunities are RARELY advertised.
There is almost no diversity, with an overwhelming majority of students being Caucasian cowboys.

What I like about Mead High School is that it is a very inclusive school. There are a lot of clubs that anyone can join, and each club is very welcoming of new comers. There are year round sports for any and every student attending Mead High School. All the teachers at Mead High School are very nice and like to have a connection with each and everyone of their students. The academic field is very good at Mead High School and the teachers always push you to do your best work and are understanding about outside problems that one may have. There are really no cliques at Mead, everybody knows everybody, and everyone is very friendly and kind to one another.
Mead High School is a great school with helpful teachers and an awesome community! There are so many opportunities for students to get involved and find their place in the school. The culture and community is close-knit and supportive. I had an awesome experience and I'm thankful that I had the opportunity to spend my high school years at Mead!
As a college readiness school, Mead encourages all students to take AP and concurrent enrollment classes, however, once you are applied, the process to leave the class is incredibly challenging and frustrating. The majority of the teachers and staff are very kind and work to help students move forward and adapt.
The community at Mead High School is truly like no other. With it's rural setting, the traditional morality you would expect from farm families is brought to the school through the students. There is a strong sense of community that both the students and the teachers produce. One of the most important things in our school is inclusion for special ed kids. Not only are we the first school in the nation to offer a Unified Percussion Ensemble course, but we have an annual Staff v. Unified basketball game that the entire school attends. Not only this, but we also have an annual Veterans Day Assembly in which we invite local veterans to come and receive our respect. I have loved every minute of being a part of such a respectful, patriotic, and inclusive environment.
Overall my experience as a Mead High School student has been very exciting. The school offers tons of excess classes to fit every students need. Throughout the school there are many activities you can participate in to be become more involved in the school from sports to almost any club you can imagine. The school is open to everyone and does it’s best to accept every single students as who they are despite the color of their skin, wealth status, or even gender. We have a unique class that every student participated in to learn about our school’s history to sources of strength to fun bonding activities.
Going to Mead High School for 4 years has truly been a memorable and wonderful experience. The teachers are always willing to help and they are very supportive. The administrators and all the workers in the building are friendly and very helpful. I appreciate Mead High School, the school has truly impacted me and my future
I liked how everyone in the building wanted and helped me become successful. I made a lot of great friends and met great people. The school offered a lot of tools to help me be successful. The one thing I didn’t like was the sports teams had some conflict for example the football felt as if they were better than everyone else because they played football .
Overall, I felt very included in many ways. Through students, teachers, clubs, and other activities, I was easily able to connect with the school and feel welcomed. The school offers a large variety of courses, including AP, honors, energy academy and much more.
Mead High School is great! From the academics, to the diversity, the inclusion, to the sports everything is top-notch and focused on preparing students for the next level.
I like how nice and open most of the students and teachers are. I also like the variety of classes they offer. The only thing I don’t like about this school is that all funding goes into sports like football and basketball and nothing goes into other things like cheer or dance.
Mead High School generally has a good environment. You are encouraged to be involved and be a part of the community. The teachers care about their students for the most part and always try and include everyone.
I have really enjoyed going here the last few years! The entire staff is great, and they are always willing to help someone. If they don’t know the answer, they will find someone who does. I am so glad that I chose this as my high school!
Mead High School has been a great experience, the school challenges students and really focuses on students’ education. Clubs and sports are strongly supported and encouraged at our school. Technology has increased and more options have become available for those interested.
The teachers are very helpful and the classes offered are helpful. The student culture can be very negative though.
The teachers do a phenomenal job of connecting with the students and ensuring their success on an assignment, whether that be by taking time to conference with them, or supplying them with additional resources. Moreover, the school is highly inclusive to the special-education community, and support for the Unified Sports program is incredibly high.
