It is magnificent! Not including all, but at least the ones I know are highly productive and keen. Students here also have passion in contributing to the community; they have participated in various types of volunteer works. The most common one is the Mills American Red Cross Club. This club is a chapter of American Red Cross in school.
Mills High School was an amazing four years that really prepped me for college at a four-year university. The curriculum can be fast paced and difficult but teachers and staff are always there for extra support.
However, the downsides of Mills is the lack of diversity, and everyone having a constant mindset of college and not doing extra curricular activities for their own enjoyment, but instead for their college applications. Which I am guilty of!

Mills' physics department needs improvement. The teachers are very kind but their teaching skills are not on par with other teachers' skills at Mills. I've heard a lot of classmates complain about not learning well while in their class. Additionally, Mills is more academically focused so there doesn't seem to be a lot of school spirit. A lot of students don't dress up for spirit week. On the topic of academics, Mills is slightly competitive. A lot of students really care about doing well in their academics so there is a slight competitive atmosphere. However, overall, Mills is a very inclusive school. I have not witnessed any instances of bullying or any type of discrimination. Overall, my experience at Mills has been good.
