Mercedes High School Reviews
Rating 3.47 out of 5 130 reviews
I love band and the colorguard. The teachers are good. The school is nice. It’s good that all the students get to eat lunch free unlike other schools where they may have to pay. I get to take college classes to get college credits and be able to get my associates before graduating high school. I can’t wait for graduation, the school makes a big deal about the graduates and makes them feel special.
My experience at Mercedes High School was pretty good. There are really good teachers that are very understanding. There are many good people there and many great friends. However, sometimes school food is not the best.
Mercedes High School is a supportive, motivating campus that inspires their students to go above and beyond in all that they do. They encourage their students to be active and participate within their community and other organizations.
