I love Mentor and even though I go to Eastlake North now, I will never stop loving this school. I give it 5 star 100% Love for the district in general
I actually attended MHS, so this rating is based on a real-life experience. I was bullied some. Why? Probably because I was a teenager surrounded by teenagers and that’s unfortunately how it works. Overall, high school really wasn’t so bad.
My teachers were a diverse group. A few were barely there. Some were amazing and approachable, willing to help me with whatever I needed to see me succeed. Some of them were somewhere in between. My guidance counselors did their job, too, and my unit principal was incredible. Other students were scared of her, but as long as you followed the rules, she was a real friend.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF MY REVIEW: I would like to point out that when I was bullied inside the school building, I reported it to my unit principal and a couple of the security guards and they addressed the problem right away. They didn’t sweep it under the rug and tell me to get over it. They took it seriously and it eventually stopped.
I had typical teenage girl body image and the kind of attitude that you’d find anywhere. My circle of friends was small but supportive, I was a huge choir geek, and I had great opportunities in the musical theater department where I got to hone my classical singing skills; I’ll never forget those experiences.
The facilities were satisfactory, and I’ve heard they’ve been updated since I was there, so current students have an even cleaner and more modern school. I rarely ate school lunches but they looked okay at the time (though school lunch laws were different back then). All in all, it was a good campus.
I had a pretty run-of-the-mill high school experience with highs and lows like any other high school, which I know because I had friends at lots of other high schools and we all had a lot in common. I don’t know why people hate this place so much. Teenagers suck across the board, plain and simple. But most of us got into trades or college and that’s the main point of school, so why complain so much?
Watch the documentary "Mentor" its free for prime members on Amazon. The entire staff should be fired and charged; DISGUSTING human beings. I feel for the families that lost there loved ones due to unchecked bullying. #Stop Bullying!!
I currently go here, and it's amazing!! We all are one, big, happy family :) Mentor High has a ton of activities, such as Speech and Debate, Science Olympiad, and even a bible study group! Plus, Mentor has all the athletics! The teachers are amazing, and they care so much about you. You just gotta ask! You'll always find a friend here; you'll never be alone. I know that Mentor High has had a bullying problem in its past, but that rarely happens around here due to all of the changes, and when it does, there's always someone who's got your back. And, hey, who wants a free Macbook?! Mentor is amazing. I'm so proud to be a Cardinal.
I'm currently a senior at Mentor High School, and I've thouroughly enjoyed my four years here. Mentor is a very large school, with about 2000 students, but has an imennse number of opportunities. I chose to take advantage of these by participating in the fantastic orchestra program, Science Olympiad, and several other clubs. I've had almost entirely positive experiences with teachers, they were helpful and taught well. In my experience, Mentor does not have as large a bullying problem as often mentioned.
I was here at this school for one semester doing a marketing program in 2013, and I got to tell you it is not welcoming for new students especially minorities. I have never been so disappointed in my life! The racism here is unbelievable and the people here are very rude, and I would not recommend this school to anyone. However, the education is good but socially it is bad.
I loved this school so much for it being my first year! Hoping to finish all my years of high school here.
