J. W. Mitchell High School

The reviews about this school are very biased. There are students that will do drugs at EVERY school. There are occasional lockdowns at EVERY school. It's overcrowded? Don't blame that on the school. I do agree that it is in an area of wealthier neighborhoods and there is a great mix of students, but that does not mean that specifically rich preppy kids or poor kids do drugs or turn out doing nothing in life. In fact, I've seen a few classmates out in the field as doctors now. They changed policies for the interest in the safety of the students. There was a high turnover rate for teachers and principals at the time I was there, but I had some pretty good teachers that I'll never forget. There are definitely worse schools in the district to attend in unsafe areas with much worse drug and criminal problems IMO.

I like the events, and everything. A lot of the teachers get along with the students. There isn't a pecking order making it very easy to get along with the other students.
