Mission Hills High School, 9-12 (Public)

Mission Hills High School is a fairly new school and they consistently exceed their own goals in academics. We moved from the LAUSD and couldn't be happier with the schools in this area, especially MHHS.

Alright, first of all I love my school, but a couple of my teachers are very unresponsive when I send them emails asking about recent homework. I won't point any fingers, but it annoys the heck out of me, especially when it concerns grades. Overall, I still love my school and friends, it's just the concern over students some teachers need to work on.

i love my school. i think its amazing! :] The school is a football school, but what high school isnt? really, we have great athletics and great teachers! the only thing that needs to be changed is the ladys in the office who think they own the school, and dont treat anyone who walks in good. but overall MHHS is great and were lucky to have it in san marcos!

I am a parent who had a district transfer issue for my son who is in 11th grade. Mrs. Susan Ford the Assistant principal and Mr. Brad Lichtman Principal took care of this matter at no time. I am very impressed with the way that I was treated by the Mission Hills High school staff I am so disappointed that my son had to leave mission hills high school I am not a fundraisers and boosters for this school or district If I had another son or daughter I would defiantly sign them up at Mission Hills High School

I believe this school to be of the highest quality and the staff is truly caring for the students. They truly care and are willing to help if asked.

I agree with an earlier post that the administration is completely unresponsive to parents' concerns, unless they happen to be fundraisers and boosters. When I spoke the the AP about concerns my son and other students had about the kind of demeaning treatment they were receiving in the front office, I was told this was the first complaint they had received about it. Then while talking to another parent, I learned that she had voiced a complaint about the same issue and heard the same response. There are some teachers who are extremely committed to students, but others are definitely preparing themselves for the next high-paying admin position or waiting out retirement. This school is a big disappointment for all students who are not involved in the sports programs. I wish I had enrolled my child in San Marcos High, which has a positive reputation in the community.

Awful experience for my daughter the first year. The school is a football school. The players only receive a slap on the wrist when late to class or absent. The principal is the main problem..such poor organization.

The only complaint I really have are the teachers. As said before, they are unenthusiastic and all notes and homework. There are the occasional passionate teachers that love to have fun and help you, but for the most part, this school is a downer. Also, AVID was probably the worst experience of my life, although it's probably good for me.

This school is outstanding. The administrative staff is very responsive to the needs of the students and the teachers are committed to student success. Parents are very involved and the enthusiasm of the students in school and extra curricular activities is wonderful. This school is a community.

MHHS is a wonderful school to attend, it gives your students the best education! It has different types of programs to be enroll so you;; never be bored.

The school is doing great for a new school. It is ironing out the wrinkles and making great progress. The staff is young and enthusiastic.

I have many complaints about MHHS. The counselors aren't helpful, except for Mrs. Baker... who isn't my assigned counselor. The admin treat students like kids, instead of young adults like they claim to want to do. Many classes are linked-- if you want to take AP English, you have to take AP history, Government, ect. There's lots of amazing teachers there and the facilities are awesome, don't get me wrong, but the system isn't as grand as it could be.

In general, the academic programs are good at meeting the student's needs. I find it easier to contact teachers once I have their email. Extra curricular sports and music is great.

Beautiful campus, excellent/professional faculty and teachers, rigorous AP course program, many graduate seniors enter high reputation colleges...

Attended college & career night recently and found they have a very good counseling staff and a great AVID program. Above-average school

I think they have the same problems that San Marcos High had (the teachers) they just changed their address these teachers are there to put in there hours and receive a paycheck. It would have been nice if they could have some teachers that actually want to teach and not just hand out homework.
