Mesquite High School Reviews
Rating 3.73 out of 5 592 reviews
Mesquite High School has provided me with a fulfilling educational experience. Every teacher I had has been supportive and made sure I made the most of my education. The student body tended to be friendly and made me feel welcome. However, there are still issues present in the school, mainly in terms of communication. It was very common for events like assemblies to have certain details poorly informed to staff and students. Usually no one would fully understand what they needed to do until the last minute. Despite the communication errors, I still enjoyed my time at Mesquite. If the incoming principal improved communication to staff and students, events should be able to run more smoothly for everyone involved.
I had a few notable teachers that would put effort into making their classrooms a true learning environment, like implementing decorations, lighting, and varying seating arrangements. The default classroom (harsh overhead lighting, old yet monotonous desks arranged in rows or groups, etc) grates on your mind over time, so anything differing from that is a breath of fresh air.
I only wish that the school could get more funding and put it towards improving the entire school instead of just one area. I hope that happens in the future.

Mesquite high school offers a plethora of clubs, electives and Ap classes that make it a wonderful place of learning. The teachers, admin and counselors are wonderful and try their hardest to make school fun while pushing the students to try their best. Mesquite is very diverse and a place where students from any background feel safe and included. I have found amazing friends and mentors in the years I have attended mesquite high school and will be sad to see that time come to an end.
