Mills High School is very competitive academically with how high the standards are for students to achieve good grades along with engaging in diverse extracurriculars. Some classes have teachers that suck the fun out of learning, causing students to disengage from the subjects. However, many classes, notably the music and science departments, feature teachers that have a deep love for their subjects, causing students to learn more than what they could have anywhere else. The facility is well maintained, although certain hallways always seem to be dirty. The math hall in particular (the newest buildings) are great environments for learning, unlike some of the joyless boxes with no windows that certain English and history classrooms feel like. The student body is incredibly diverse, but this does not prevent acts of racism or hate to occur. While the school does make active efforts to stop these occurrences, there is still work to be done. Overall, I'm glad I attended this school.
I enjoyed attending Mills High School; this is a post-pandemic/lockdown realization. The admin are very kind and really try to help students in any way they can, from the front desk to the teachers to the facilities team. The academics are among the more rigorous compared to the rest of the district, and the athletics are strong, despite the inequities in some sports. The school itself is nice and clean, and stays up to date on the latest technology in classrooms (lots of TVs). The STEM programs are good and have lots of support; the arts department less so, but it still has lots of resources and opportunities for students. Overall, Mills is a pretty good overall school.
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.
