Horrible school. I would give negative stars if I was allowed to. Let me explain why:…read more First of all, somebody I know has been bullied here and has been called fat, ugly etc. Also, these harmful words resulted into making her harm herself and attempt suicide. Second, most of the kids here are not real friends to others and gossip about other students to each other. I highly DON'T recommend this school because of the harmful words and actions of other students.

I love Murrieta Mesa High School. I have two students there. Both have had an amazing high school…read moreexperience. They have always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of there. The teachers have been wonderful, staff is kind and helpful, and the families are great. Mesa is a young school compared to the others in our district/valley. Our sports programs have been gaining momentum, as it normally takes time to do for a newer school. Mesa is all about students discovering their passion and taking the steps to get there in life. I truly feel the teachers and staff at Mesa take care of the students as a whole person, not just academically. Mesa has heart. We are a family, and with a school mascot as a ram, we often call ourselves a "Ramily". Students are encouraged to get involved in activities, sports, programs, and clubs to experience as much as they can in high school. Block scheduling allows for more time per subject in a class period which really helps for effective instruction time, as well as time for students to manage homework and after school activities. The campus is beautiful and clean. Feels more like a small college campus rather than a high school. The students take pride in keeping it nice. My husband and I visited all of the other high schools in the valley before sending our first child to Mesa. We are very happy with our choice and are proud to have our children attend Murrieta Mesa High School.

Dorothy McElhinney Middle School offers a strong educational environment overall, and our…read moreexperience has been mostly positive. The campus is clean, organized, and feels safe, and many of the teachers are truly dedicated to supporting students. My child has had some great classroom experiences and has grown academically thanks to several caring, engaged educators. However, not all interactions have been consistent. While most teachers have been wonderful, there have been a couple who were less supportive or less communicative, which created some challenges. It didn't define the entire experience, but it's worth noting since it affected our child's year at times. Communication from administration is generally clear and responsive, and the school offers a solid range of electives and extracurriculars. The culture is positive, and students seem encouraged to push themselves and get involved.

Wow, just wow. Some of these reviews are pretty terrible in my opinion…read more One parent complaining about their child being suspended for a misinterpreted comment. Guess what - good lesson for the kid. It's doesn't really matter what your intention was, only how the comment was received. If you have to explain yourself, you probably should have thought a little more in depth before opening your mouth. As far as the front office staff is concerned, I've had to pull my 8th grader out every other month for orthodontist appointments since 6th grade and I've never had a problem. Sounds like the logistics and some of the personal problems of some of these parents might be causing issues for the school so a little push back is taken as rudeness. I'm reality, they're doing their best to make sure the kids are safe and secure. This is my son's final year at Bella Vista (6th grade was full COVID, distance learning) and he's excelled academically. He went in with straight A's from elementary school, started in advanced classes, and has maintained his excellent grades. The teachers are reasonable and firm with expectations based in realism - face it, they're working with freakin' pre-teens and young teens - terrible job in my opinion but glad they are there doing their best for my son everyday. My daughter will gladly go to Bella Vista after another year of elementary school because big brother has had such a positive experience.

It's been in the high 80s lately, and they're still making the kids sit outside in the blazing sun with barely any shade or cooling options. How is this okay? For such a big campus I expect more shade for these concerning weathers, It's honestly unacceptable to expect students to focus or even feel well while sweating in the heat like that. At the very least, they should be allowed to stay indoors or provided with proper shade. It just feels like common sense is missing here. Not to mention my child always wanting to come home because of how hot it is , provide shade for these loves!!

This school is not adequately preparing students for the real world at graduation. Teachers and…read morecounselors have a responsibility to identify and support students who are falling behind, particularly in reading, math, and science (not grade up). Failing to do so may amount to a dereliction of duty as mandated reporters, especially when students continue through the system without the support they need. When graduates leave high school unprepared, the impact extends beyond the classroom, affecting the community and the country's future workforce and leadership. Grades should reflect a student's actual level of learning, not merely their progress from one grade to the next.
