Mountain Home Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 239 reviews
I primarily took online courses through this high school. Due to the state's dual credit framework, I was able to almost entirely take dual credit courses instead of standard high school ones, assisting my future academic opportunities. The school itself, however, is rather run down. The in-school curriculum is sub-par (We were learning basic algebra in an in-person dual credit physics class, as the other mathematics classes did not teach it, for example) at best, however.
While the staff are friendly and seem competent, the curriculum itself is not. I recommend trying to take online/dual credit courses when possible for the best education in this limited town.

The teachers and staff at Mountain Home High School are phenomenal. Many of them would quite likely give their left kidney to watch you succeed. I've heard a lot of people talk about how small-town schools can often have a negative connotation, but I've really loved being able to build relationships with the teachers and students rather than graduate in a class filled with people I barely know. It's comforting to wave and say hello to staff in the hallway. I've never really felt like MHHS has been lacking in any department other than funds, and even then the staff is able to pull through and still make the best of it.
Mountain home high school had charm but lacked functionality. The teachers there were saints working with what they could but ultimately the schools' location and surroundings created an environment where students had trouble valuing education. I would like to see more funding go towards social workers for troubled youths, as well as an increase in funding for extra-curricular activities such as theater and choir. I would consistently meet students who grew up in troubled, impoverished households with no outlet or support systems in place in order to get the help they needed. Financially, mentally or otherwise. It truly saddens me to see people so talented and passionate feeling so lost and hopeless because of their surroundings.
