What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, January 10, 2023

As the 6th Biology teacher in 3 years at MHP, there is a reason teachers rotate out of this school as fast as they can. The administration rules by fear and intimidation, like it's the 1980's. Grade inflation by the admin is evident in the SAT scores being very average. And claiming all seniors go to college isn't quit a lie, but most go to Community Colleges with no prereq's or even need for a high school diploma, or go to GCU which has a 97 acceptance rate. None of the students go to out of state colleges unless they go to a sub par school on a worthless sports scholarship to an unheard of rinky dink college. This school is all smoke and mirrors.
