This school is a great place for learning opportunities! However, they are very limited amount of choices and most clubs are not given importance besides the mainstream ones like DECCA, BPA, speech, etc. It would be really awesome if the school could spend more time advertising other clubs that would raise a lot of curiosity for students who want to go into more unique clubs. The school counselors and teachers don't do much for bullying either. Some of the groups in this school are very toxic and the school itself does almost nothing to combat this. It is also extremely lenient with vaping and drugs in the school which is pretty concerning. The majority of the teachers are kind and understanding, however there area also a few that quite frankly either do not know what they're doing or very rude towards their students.
Overall, Metea Valley High School was an excellent experience. The teachers there were always very helpful and considerate! The administration was amazing when it came to college preparation and understanding special circumstances such as study abroad. The facilities were always clean and easy to get to. School spirit was always high and energetic and I will always remember the music department for the amazing memories we created together.
I truly enjoy going to school at Metea Valley High School for many reasons. From the students to administrators, the most evident reason is the people! Metea is full of other students who are inspired to learn as well as teachers who love their job and helping students! There are so many opportunities for students with all kinds of hobbies and interests, and the administrators want to see us succeed. Not to mention the school is brand new, so we students have a wonderful space to learn and grow. One of the largest benefits of going to Metea is the immense diversity. Metea Valley has students from every background one could imagine, widening our perspectives and knowledge. Students from Metea have been accepted into a plethora of amazing universities, proving that the school and the people in it have the capabilities to do amazing things. I've completed the past two years of high school, and am nothing short of excited to take on the next two!
